Show First is the multiplayer card game where strategy meets risk. Call SHOW when you think you have the lowest hand — but get it wrong and pay +30 points. Last player standing wins.
No melds. No suits. No complex sequences. Just raw strategy, timing, and one crucial decision — when to SHOW.
Each player receives 7 cards. No suits matter — only the rank values. Your goal is to hold the lowest total hand score possible.
Round startEvery turn: discard first, then pick one card from the deck or discard pile. You can discard a group of 3+ cards if they form a valid sequence or set.
Your turnThink you have the lowest hand? Call SHOW. If you're right — zero points. If anyone has lower — you get +30 points as penalty. It's the moment everything turns on.
The critical momentEvery card has a point value. Lower is better. The player with the lowest total when SHOW is called wins the round.
SHOW is not just a move — it's a statement. Call it right and score zero. Call it wrong and take +30 points. The tension of that decision is what makes every single round unforgettable.
