- A HISTORY

- A HISTORY
1
Like most great games, Phase 10 has a
pretty fascinating history.
Phase 10 was invented in 1982 by an
entrepreneurial 22 year old, Kenneth
Johnson. It is based on several Rummy
card games played by Ken over the years.
It took a stroke of bad luck to turn Phase
10 from a vision into a game. While “laid
off” from his job, Ken took the opportunity
to develop Phase 10 and start a game
manufacturing company.
The first Phase 10 card games were sold
to Kmart 25 years ago. In 1987, Fundex
Games negotiated the rights to distribute
Phase 10 over a “Grand Slam Breakfast”
and a glass of milk with ice. As they say,
the rest is history.
By 2005, Phase 10 had sold more than
30 million copies worldwide.
As we celebrate 25 years of Phase 10, we
thank all of you loyal Phase 10 players
and fans.
Like most great games, Phase 10 has a
pretty fascinating history.

INSTRUCTIONS:
Ages 8+
For Two to Six Players
OBJECT:
To be the first player to complete all 10 Phases. In case of a
tie, the player with the lowest score is the winner.
CONTENTS:
Card tray and score pad. Four Reference cards (listing the
10 Phases) and one deck of 108 cards; 24 each of red, blue,
yellow, and green cards numbered “1” through “12,” four
blue “Skip” cards, and eight “Wild” cards, two of each color.
BEFORE PLAY:
Choose one player to be dealer. The dealer shuffles the deck
and deals 10 cards, face down, one at a time, to each player.
Players hold their 10 cards in hand, so that the other players
cannot see them. Place the remaining deck face down in the
center of the play area to become the draw pile. Turn the top
card of the draw pile over and place it next to the draw pile,
to become the discard pile.
PLAY:
The player to the left of the dealer plays first. Play continues
in a clockwise direction. On your turn, draw one card, either
the top card from the draw pile or the top card from the dis-
card pile, and add it to your hand. End your turn by discard-
ing any one of your cards onto the top of the discard pile.
During the play of the first hand, each player tries to com-
plete Phase 1 . A Phase is a combination of cards. Phases
are made of sets, runs, cards of all one color, or a combina-
tion of sets and runs.

These are the ten Phases:
1. 2 sets of 3
2. 1 set of 3 + 1 run of 4
3. 1 set of 4 + 1 run of 4
4. 1 run of 7
5. 1 run of 8
6. 1 run of 9
7. 2 sets of 4
8. 7 cards of 1 color
9. 1 set of 5 + 1 set of 2
10. 1 set of 5 + 1 set of 3
Each player can make only one Phase during each hand.

DEFINITIONS:
SETS: A set is made of two or more cards with the same
number. EXAMPLE: Phase 1 is two sets of three, which could
be three “7s” and three “10s.” The two sets could also be
the same number, e.g., three “10s” and three more “10s.”
The cards may be in any combination of colors.
RUNS: A run is made of four or more cards numbered in
order. EXAMPLE: Part of Phase 2 requires a run of four,
which could be “3,” “4,” “5,” “6.” The cards may be in any
combination of colors.
ALL ONE COLOR: The cards are all the same color.
EXAMPLE: Phase 8 requires seven cards of one color, which
could be seven red cards or seven green cards, etc. The
cards do not need to be in numerical order.
WILD CARDS: A “Wild” card may be used in place of
a number card, or may be used as any color, in order to
complete a Phase. EXAMPLES: A player wants to make a run
of four, but only has cards “3,” “4,” and “6.” The player uses
a “Wild” card as a “5” to complete the run. Or, a player has
6 green cards, and uses a “Wild” card as a green card, to
complete Phase 8.
•More than one “Wild” card may be used in completing a
Phase. Players can use as many “Wild” cards as they want
as long as they use one (1) natural card.
•Once a “Wild” card has been played in a Phase, it can’t be
replaced by the intended card and used elsewhere, but
must remain as that card until the hand is over.
•If the dealer starts the discard pile with a “Wild” card, the
card may be picked up by the first player.
25th ANNIVERSARY

25th ANNIVERSARY

SKIP CARDS: Skip cards have only one purpose: to cause
another player to lose a turn. To use, simply discard the
“Skip” card on your turn, then choose the player who will
lose a turn.
•When you draw a “Skip” card, you may discard it immediately
or save it for a later turn.
•A “Skip” card may never be used in making Phase 8, or any
other Phase.
•A “Skip” card may never be picked up from the discard pile.
•Only one “Skip” card against each player per “round” may
be used.
•When someone is skipped, a “round” is once around the
table.
•If the dealer starts the discard pile with a “Skip” card, the
first player’s first turn is automatically skipped.
MAKING A PHASE:
If, during your turn, you are able to make a Phase with the
cards in your hand, lay the Phase down, face-up on the table
before discarding. For example, you are trying to make Phase
1. You have 3 “5s” and 2 “7s” and you draw another “7.”
You now have 2 sets of 3, and you may lay them down. In the
next hand, you will be working on Phase 2.
•You must have the entire Phase in hand before laying it
down.
•You may lay down more than the minimum requirements
of a Phase, but only if the additional cards can be directly
added to the cards already in the Phase.
EXAMPLES: You lay down 3 “5s” and 3 “7s” to make Phase
1. You have two more “5s” in hand and can immediately lay
them down with the 3 ”5s,” all in the same turn. Another
player making Phase 1 lays down 3 “6s” and 3 “8s.” The
player also has 3 “10s” in hand, but cannot lay them down
because Phase 1 requires exactly 2 sets. Thus, the player
can only add more “6s” and “8s” to the Phase made of “6s”
and “8s.”

•Only one Phase can be made per hand.
•If you successfully make a Phase, then you try to make the
next Phase in the next hand. If you fail to make a Phase,
you must try to make the same Phase again in the next
hand. As a result, players may not all be working on the
same Phase in the same hand.
•Phases must be made IN ORDER, from 1 to 10. For
example, a player trying to make Phase 4 (1 run of 7) lays
down a run of 9 cards. This qualifies as 1 run of 7 for
Phase 4, but can’t be used as credit for either Phase 5
(1 run of 8) or Phase 6 (1 run of 9).
•You receive credit for making a Phase as soon as you lay it
down. You do not need to win the hand in order to receive
credit for the Phase. Several players will often complete a
Phase in the same hand.
HITTING:
Hitting is the way to get rid of leftover cards after making a
Phase. You make a hit by putting a card directly on a Phase
already laid down. The card must properly fit with the cards
already down.
EXAMPLES: You may add one or more “4s” to a player’s
existing set of “4s.” You may add a “2” to a player’s existing
run of “3,” “4,” “5,” “6.” You may also add a “7” and an
“8” to this run, if you have them. You may add one or more
green cards to a player’s seven green cards in Phase 8. You
may also add a “Wild” card of any color to any of these card
situations. Before you can make a hit, your own Phase must
already be laid down. You may hit only during your turn. You
may hit your own cards, another player’s cards, or both.
GOING OUT / FINISHING A HAND:
After laying down a Phase, players try to “go out” as soon
as possible. To go out, you must get rid of all of your cards
by discarding or hitting on an existing Phase. The player to
go out first wins the hand. The winner of the hand, and any
other players who also complete their Phase, will advance to

in their hands (The fewer cards left in your hand, the better).
All the cards are then shuffled and a new hand begins. (Re-
member, if you did not complete the Phase before another
player went out, you must work on the same Phase again in
the next hand.)
