Loading (Load up on the Fun!)

In Loading, all the players try simultaneously to collect as many progression points as possible. Who will be the fastest...or the wisest?

All players but one start with a deck of cards in hand; the final player waits, hand outstretched, for another player to hand them a deck. As soon as you have a deck, examine it as quickly or as thoroughly as you wish for a progression card to play on your stack. You must play cards in ascending order, but you need not play them sequentially. Once you've played a card, get rid of the deck by placing it in the hand of whoever waits.

Once you've gathered enough progression points — or at least once you think you're in a good position — you can discard the deck instead of giving it to someone else, then take a bonus STOP card. There aren't enough STOP cards for all players, so don't delay too long.

Loading includes a two-player mode, as well as an expert mode for skilled players.
