How to play
Remove all 104 cards from twelve refilling slots.
- Deal twelve face-up cards into separate slots from a two-deck stock.
- Remove any Ace alone, or select exactly one Jack, Queen, or King with three distinct cards ranked Two through Ten whose values sum to eighteen.
- The stock refills cleared slots automatically; continue forming valid four-card groups until both decks are gone.
Strategy tips
- Plan number triples such as Two-Seven-Nine while also checking that their ranks are distinct.
- Any face card can complete a valid group, so protect scarce number combinations rather than a particular court rank.
- Removing an Ace changes only one slot, while a four-card group reveals four replacements at once.
Complete guide
Rules, scoring, and strategy
Eighteens deals two decks through twelve face-up slots. Aces remove alone; every other removal combines one face card with three distinct number ranks from Two through Ten whose values total eighteen.
A valid group has four exact roles
Choose one Jack, Queen, or King plus exactly three number cards ranked Two through Ten. The three number values must total eighteen and no two of their ranks may be equal.
Aces are independent removals
An Ace does not belong to an eighteen-value group and leaves by itself. Removing an Ace refreshes one slot, while completing a group refreshes four and changes the visible combination space sharply.
Distinct ranks constrain the arithmetic
A triple such as Five, Six, and Seven is valid, but Six, Six, and Six is not despite totaling eighteen. With two decks, duplicate ranks can remain exposed and compete for different triples.
Questions players ask
Does the face card contribute a number value?
No. It fills the required face-card role; the three distinct number cards alone total eighteen.
Can two number cards share a rank?
No. The three selected number ranks must all be different.
How are Aces removed?
Each exposed Ace is removed alone and its slot then refills from stock.
