With Blasting Billy you have to deal cards smartly. The cards come in five suits. Each turn you can choose from three actions: lay the card in front of yourself, donate the card to Blasting Billy by placing it on the table with the correct color pile, or discard the card. At the end of the game it is checked how much Blasting Billy has gained in value per color. Anyone who has a higher card value in a certain suit is immediately out. Whoever stays alive with the highest value wins.
