Start a new playDescription
In ONDA, players use cards from their hands to compose wave formations superior to those of their opponents according to the current tide. Your goal is to be the first to play all your cards; failing that, try to have as few cards as possible since you lose points based on what's left in your hand.
In more detail, at the start of play the tide is coming in, that is, high numbers are better than low. In each round, each player starts with a hand of cards, placing two cards face down in front of them; these cards are now wild and still considered part of their hand. To start the trick, the lead player plays a formation consisting of a single card, 2-4 cards of the same value, or a sequence of 2-4 cards. Subsequent players can (1) play a better formation — "better" being determined by the tide — (2) pass and be out of the trick, (3) turn the tide by returning one of their face-down cards to their hand, flipping the tide card (so now low numbers are better than high, or vice versa), then playing a better combination, or (4) play a bomb.
