How to Play - Revised Again!

To Jack & Back
A downloadable game

Hi. So I've changed the back and forth action of the game. It used to move left and right along this track:

J Q K A 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 J

The downside to this linear track is that players sometimes used up all their cards near the Jacks (Q K A and 8 9 10) so when the game play moved back in the opposite direction they were left drawing cards from the Draw Pile. 

To make the game flow a little better, I've introduced a loop. So it's more of a circle between the jacks:

     Q K A 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

J                                                         J

     10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 A K Q


Now once play reaches a Jack, the next player has the option to re-start play in the opposite direction along either the top or bottom lanes. i.e. QKA or 8910. 

Hope this makes sense.
