Game Overview:

The Jacks of Communarchy is a fast-paced game of controlled chaos where Jacks are wild and players will have to navigate the piles of cards to form rummy-style sets and runs within their own hands. Race to achieve the required number of pat hands while working around a community discard pile. There are multiple ways to add to or manipulate one's own cards, but all of them come at a price! The name is a combination of communism and anarchy. The community discard pile ensures that everyone gets the same cards despite having different piles, as players who run out of cards in their own pile take the discard pile as their new pile. However, it can't be denied that the game is very chaotic--especially in the variations that encourage aggressive play--and that's where the anarchy comes in!
