A simple but original card game - the goal is to get a hand which is just Dick Tracy and 4 Jewels. There are only 3 card types, Dick Tracy, Jewels, and Thugs. Each turn you can discard Jewels, Dick Tracy, or Thug WITH Dick Tracy, as many times as you like - filling your hand back to 5 at the end of the turn. If you only have Thugs you show your hand and discard one card.
Going out is 30 points. Other players are penalized for each thug in their hand not canceled by a Dick Tracy, and rewarded for each Jewel. The game is to 100.
