Collect 3 – The Fast-Passing Card Game for Game Night

Pass it. Grab it. Shout "Collect 3!"

No waiting for your turn. In Collect 3, every player is passing cards at the same time. Cards fly around the table, everyone races to finish the same task, and the first person to do it shouts "Collect 3!" and grabs a Crown.

Each round has a new task from the Task List: three of the same color, a run of three, three cards that add up to 10, and 17 more. Easy to learn in minutes, with enough twists to keep every round different.

Then the Action cards hit. Get a Skip and for 3 passes you have to pass every card you get face-down. Get Double Points and your Crown scores twice as much that round. But if a Bomb is still in front of you when the last Crown is taken, your whole score goes back to zero. And the Wild card counts as any number or color, for a 1-point cost.

How to play

1. Deal 3 cards to each player and put Crowns in the middle, one fewer than the number of players.
2. The dealer picks a task from the Task List. Everyone plays the same task.
3. Only the dealer draws. Everyone keeps or passes 1 card to the right, all at the same time.
4. Complete the task with your 3 cards, shout "Collect 3!" and grab a Crown. The faster you grab, the more you score.
5. First to 10 points (2–4 players), 15 (5–6) or 20 (7+) wins.

What age is it for? Ages 7 and up. It's simple enough for kids and fast enough for adults.

How long does a game take? About 45 minutes to an hour.

Can a big group play? Yes. Party Mode is made for 7+ players: no Crown cards, just shout "Collect 3!" to score. There's also an Elimination Mode where you're out if you don't get a Crown.
