To play the card game 5 Crowns, each player is dealt ten cards and must create at least two sets of three cards and two runs of at least three cards. The remaining cards are placed face down with one card flipped over as the top card of the discard pile. Each turn, players draw one card from either the draw pile or the discard pile and discard one card. The game ends when a player has no cards left in their hand, and points are awarded based on the number of cards left in each player’s hand and the sets and runs they were able to create. The player with the lowest score after multiple rounds is the winner.
