The Card That Changes Every Year
Why no two seasons play quite the same
- Explain what the annual card is
- Know that it refreshes each spring
- Understand point values at a high level
Once a year — each spring — the League releases a fresh card. It's small enough to fold into your pocket, yet it drives the entire game.
The card lists well over a hundred winning hands, sorted into groups. Next to each hand is a point value. Harder hands are worth more.
On a recent card, hands range from about 25 points for the friendlier patterns up to 75 for the toughest. You either complete a listed hand and earn its full value, or you don't score that round — there's no partial credit.
A game that reinvents itself
Because the card changes yearly, the game refreshes every spring. Last year's favorite hand may be gone, and brand-new ones appear.
Collector's habit
Many players keep their old cards. A new card each spring is part of the game's yearly rhythm.
How often does the winning-hands card change?
- A new card arrives every spring.
- It lists 100+ hands, each with a point value.
