The object of the Game is to score as many points as possible by generating as many "LineUps" of 4 of your pieces in a row as possible. These LineUps can be up and down or left and right. Playing a card that does not have an opponents piece on the Plateau allows you to claim that space. Jokers are wild! A Blue Joker allows you to claim any open space. A Red Joker allows you to remove any opponents piece that is not part of a LineUp.
LineUp is a card game that requires strategy to win. You can play against one or two computer players, play Single or Double Deck, Normal or Las Vegas Style Scoring, use a Normal or Random generated Plateau as well as choose between three styles of point generation, Normal, Card value or Card suit.
