Frantic the Mischievous Game

In Frantic; you start with seven cards and try to get rid of your cards as quickly as possible. If a player has discarded all their cards; the remaining players count the points in their hand. When a player reaches the agreed maximum score; the player with the lowest score wins.

If you can’t or don’t want to play a card; you draw one from the deck. There are four colors with numbers from 1 to 9. You can either play color on color or number on number. Sounds boring so far; doesn’t it? Well; that’s why we have the special cards. For example; have someone draw four cards from the deck; or give a fellow player two cards out of your hand. And the fun part: You always get to choose who gets these cards!

But wait; there’s more: We come to the black cards; also numbered from 1 to 9. You can play these only on a number; not on the same color; and every time a black card is played; it activates an event card. These event cards go from Friday; the Thirteenth — where nothing happens – to Tornado; where all hand cards get shuffled together and handed out again.
