Play starts with the player to the left of the dealer and proceeds to the left.
Hold your cards so nobody else can see them. Note that the pawns stack on each other, so more than one pawn may occupy a single space at any time during play. Turn the top three cards over and place them face-up, one in each of the three other sections, to form three Discard Piles.Įveryone chooses a colored pawn and places it on the '1/Start' space on the game board. Place the rest of the deck face down in one section of the Phase 10 Card Tray to form the Draw Pile. Shuffle the deck of Phase 10 cards and deal 10 cards, face-down, to each player. Set the Phase 10 Twist Card Tray in the center of the game board Unfold the game board and place it within easy reach of all players. Place the Twist Phase Cards in the Twist Phase Card Holder.
Separate the reference cards from the rest of the Phase 10 deck and place them around so all can see them. Move around the game board and be the first to finish Phase 10.
