11 sets of 4 cards each have to be played to gain as many points as possible by making up various scoring combinations. This can be done by:

  • making up the total of "12"
  • playing cards of the same number
  • playing runs and/or sequences
  • playing the Baden Powell card
  • being the last player in the round

Game ends after several rounds until a player has a total score of 30 points. One of the most demanding games of the Pepys series regarding the rules, and very special because 11 can play without using a second deck of cards !

The educational aspect of the Scouting theme is accompanied by extensive description of the subjects of the cards on the last pages of the rules booklet.

As usual with this publisher printing quality and graphic artwork is outstanding.
