Big Cheese

1. Goal

Ten rounds. Lowest cumulative score wins.

2. Deal

Round N deals N + 2 cards (round 1 → 3 cards … round 10 → 12). Deck: five cheese families × ranks 1–10 × 2, plus 6 Moldy Wedges.

3. Books & runs

Go out by clearing your hand into melds of 3+ cards:

• Book — same rank (any families)
• Run — consecutive ranks, same family

You may discard one leftover card when going out.

4. Wilds

Moldy Wedges are always wild. The round’s rank is also wild (round 2 → 2s, and so on). Wilds fill gaps in runs and can join books.

5. Turn

1. Draw from the stock or the discard pile
2. Play — build toward books/runs, or go out if your hand clears
3. Discard one card to end your turn (unless you went out)

6. Scoring

Cards left in hand count against you: cheese cards = face value, wilds in hand = 20.

7. Sneaky Mouse

From round 2, trailing player(s) get one discard swap (heist). Going out right after that swap earns a −10 bonus.
