The game is played with a deck of Zombie Rider Playing cards. All 56 cards including special gaffs and jokers are used.

  1. The game starts as each player receives one of the random queen cards.

  2. After the queens are dealt each player is dealt 5 cards. The queens are held in the hand so the other players don't know which queen the other players have.

  3. The player at the dealers left begins. They lay a card down to start a trick, each player must play a card from that trick if they have it. If they don't they must draw a card then play any card. They player with the highest card with the same suite that was started wins the trick, unless a gaff or joker is played. The player that plays a gaff or Joker gets to take the trick.

  4. Roll off: If multiple gaffs or jokers are played the players must enter into a best of 3 roll-off with Zombie Rider dice. If there are more than 2 jokers or gaff cards played on one hand. The players roll one die each, the player with the highest roll gets a bye in the first round as the other players roll against each other. The highest total best of 3 wins the roll off. If any player in a roll off rolls double ZR (the engraved picture on the 1 spot) they win the roll off immediately.

  5. The player who won the last trick begins the next trick, the game ends when someone runs out of cards.

Scoring: 3 points for every trick won that matches the same suite as your queen. 2 points for every trick won that includes a gaff or joker. 1 point for every trick won that does not match the suite of your queen. 1 point for every roll off victory. -1 point for every card left in your hand. The game is played in sets, and points are recorded after each set. The first person to earn 25 Points is most decrepit queen.
