1Choose a pileTap any available face-up card pile.
2Call up or downTap ↑ if the next card will be higher, or ↓ if it will be lower.

4Wrong guessThe wrong card is revealed first. Then complete the displayed penalty timer and restart your turn.
Equal-value cards count as incorrect. A riskier correct guess earns more XP. Easy uses 1× XP, Normal 1.5×, and Hard 2.25×. When a round empties, press Shuffle Cards. Deathbox moves from 9 piles to 6, then 4, then 1 by removing only 3, then 2, then 3 finished piles. The last deal into the final pile ends the game.
How to play LethalCross
Work as one team to move all 52 cards into the permanent center pile.
1Get two outside calls rightChoose one of the four outside piles and call ↑ or ↓. Complete two correct outside calls.
2Call the center colorAfter two correct outside guesses, call RED or BLACK for the next center card.
3Continue the center streakAfter the first correct center call, keep calling colors. Every correct card stays secured in the middle.
4How misses workAn outside miss uses the number of cards in that pile as seconds. A first center miss uses card value. A miss during the bonus center streak has no penalty and simply passes the turn.
5Recycle outside cardsWhen the draw deck empties, press Shuffle Cards. Only the four outside piles are recycled and redealt; the center pile is never removed. When fewer than 8 draw cards remain, every player gets one final color call.
Correct calls earn live XP; risky outside calls earn more. Easy uses 1× XP, Normal 1.5×, and Hard 2.25×. Face cards equal 10 seconds and an Ace equals 11 seconds on an initial center miss. Win by securing all 52 cards in the center.
