Pairs: Commonwealth Deck

Pairs is a "new classic pub game" for 2 to 8 players. The game uses a 55-card deck that contains one 1, two 2s, three 3s, and so on up to ten 10s. At the start of the game, shuffle the deck, then remove five cards from play unseen. Deal one card face-up to each player. The player with the lowest card decides if they want the dealer to hit them with another card. Avoid getting pairs, or you earn those points, and risk losing if you're the first to reach the scoring threshold. This limited edition deck, with art by Shane Tyree, also includes rules for Sweep, a bidding game for 2 to 6 players.
