1 A.M. Jailbreak
In 1 AM Jailbreak you want to help prisoners gain their freedom ... from your hand. Yes, you hold a hand of prisoner cards, and you want to send them through the tunnel so that none are left behind.
In more detail: from a deck of cards numbered 1-8, in which the leaders take a value of your choice when you play them, each player starts with a hand of twelve cards, and five cards are dealt at random face up into the 'cell', an area next to the deck.
If the 'tunnel' – an area in the middle of the table – is empty on your turn, you may play 1-3 cards. If you play more than one card, those cards must have the same value or form a sequence. (If you play a leader, you must state its value if it is not obvious.) If the tunnel is not empty, you may play the same number of cards as the previous player, or one card more or fewer. If you cannot play the right number of cards, or do not want to, you pass and move all the cards in the tunnel to the discard pile.
After passing, you draw two cards, from the deck, the cell or a combination of the two; if you have played, you draw one card, after which you may draw one more if you wish. (Refill the cell to five cards if necessary.)
One small addition to the above: before you play or pass, you may 'shoot ahead', that is, add a card to the cards the previous player placed in the tunnel, adding the same number if they played a set, or adding a card at either end of their run. Doing so sheds one more card and gives you a larger set to play against.
If you empty your hand, you do not draw and you skip all future turns. When 1-2 players have 'broken out' - or dawn arrives at the bottom of the deck - the round ends; everyone with cards in hand scores points equal to their hand size. After three rounds, whoever has the lowest score wins.
