Action Cards
Flip Card: used to change which symbol each player or team represents during play. EXAMPLE: If your ID Card is showing ‘X’ side up, you must now flip your ID Card to ‘O’ side up and begin playing for the new symbol shown on your ID Card. Opponents will always represent opposite sides.
Wipe Out Card: Forces the chosen player to lose all their cards but allows that player to keep their turn. The Wipe Out Card CANNOT be applied to yourself. NOTE: Play continues clockwise after using the Wipe Out Card, which may cause one or more players to be ‘skipped’ during that round.
Double Play Card: allows two cards to be played during a single turn. Double Play Cards or Wipe Out Cards CANNOT be played as one of those two cards. If you cannot make a valid move you may use the Double Play as a discard.
