Welcome to Planet Ack, human! We'd like to welcome you by teaching you how to play Galacard, our traditional card game. It might sound complicated at first, but it's actually pretty simple:

Each player starts their turn by drawing a Starting Card from their hand. Each card contains a number and a shape, but the other players can only see the latter. Your goal is to play the highest number in the turn with a card of the same shape.  There's also a card in the middle of the playfield called the Power Card. Drawing a card with that shape gives you an advantage even over the most powerful Starting Card, but just like with the latter, the highest one always wins. To clear a round, you must win the exact same amount of times as the goal you chose (0-6). If you're still lost, make sure to check out the Galacard Strategy Guide!
