HOW TO PLAY:

SETUP:

To play ESCAPE: The Card Game, all you need is the 52-card deck.

1. After shuffling the deck, begin by giving each player 3 face down cards. These cards are to be set close but separately.

   (They may NOT be looked at.)

2. After each player receives their face-down cards, give each player 6 additional cards. The remain cards are to be placed in the middle, this will be The Deck.

   (These may be looked at.)

3. Each player then sets 3 cards face down, one card on top of each initial face-down card.

4. Once each player sets down there cards, you're ready to begin.

   (First to set there 3 cards down, will be the Starting Player.)
