2. How to Track Chips and Keep Score
• Every time a card is played on you…
draw a picture on your “Chips Tracker”
• Everybody has their own Chips Tracker sheet.

3. This is what your “Chips Tracker” looks like5 10 15 20
-15
-10 -5
-20
________ = _____
This is what your “Chips Tracker” looks like

4. Earning Points
• To get points, you have to reach a certain level of chips.
20 chips = 7 pts.
15 chips = 5 pts.
10 chips = 3 pts.
5 chips = 1 pt.
-5 chips = - 1 pt.
-10 chips = -3 pt.
-15 chips = -5 pt.
-20 chips = -7 pt.

5. Keeping Track of Points
Everybody keeps track of their points on the same sheet, the “Scorecard”.
It looks like this:

6. This is what the “Scorecard” looks like:
Name:
The first time you reach +20 chips, you get 7 points.
The first time you reach +15 chips, you get 5 points.
The first time you reach +10 chips, you get 3 points.
The first time you reach +5 chips, you get 1 point.
The first time you reach -5 chips, you get -1 point.
The first time you reach -10 chips, you get -3 points.
The first time you reach -15 chips, you get -5 points.
The first time you reach -20 chips, you get -7 points.
At the end, everyone gets points based on having the most chips.
• Most chips at end: points
• 2nd-highest chips: points
• 3rd-highest chips: points
• 4th-highest chips: points
• 5th-highest chips: point
Total:
Note: If you play a “flip” card on YOURSELF, then you can erase any negative points you’ve earned up to then.

12. You only get points the FIRST time you reach each level of chips.
Example: the first time you have 5 chips, you get +1 point.
If you play a FLIP card on yourself, you can erase any negative points you’ve earned up to then.
Deal 6 cards to every player, not 7 (the game takes longer with subtraction).
