Based on my previous post on Boone’s tan lines…..

cards in a caravan must be placed high to low, or low to high, in decending order.

the exceptions are if you either place a card that is the same suit as the last card in your caravan, or if you place a queen on the last card in your caravan

placing a king on a card will double it's value. placing a jack on a card will completely remove it from a caravan

i still don't know how jokers work to be honest but they aren't necessary. DO NOT use jokers if you can't figure them out

kings, queens, jacks, and jokers, can all be placed in your opponent's caravan. focusing on your opponent's caravan is just as important on focusing on your own caravan

your opponent will also likely be placing their cards [[kings, queens, jacks, jokers]] in your caravans to raise or lower their value

the goal of caravan is to get as many of your caravans as possible to a value as close to 26 as possible [[26 or under, usually 21-26]] before your opponent does, without going over.

side note: practice!! if you have an ounce of pattern recognition and can do basic addition then chances are you'll get the hang of it even if you don't know all of the rules in detail. it's what i did for the most part.

also: have fun!! if you hate card games and/or only frustrate yourself when trying to learn about caravan then maybe it's just not for you. no shame in that.

If a Joker is played on an Ace, it removes all non-face cards and Aces of that suit from the board

If a Joker is played on a 2-10 card, it removes every card of that rank, regardless of suit, from the board, the card the Joker is placed on remains in play.
