You then proceed to play your normal turn. When it is your turn, place the dead card on your discard pile, announce that you are turning in a Dead Card and take a replacement card (one card per turn). If you hold a card in your hand which does not have an open space on the game board because both spaces representing that card are covered by a marker chip, you are holding a DEAD CARD and you may turn it in for a new card.

You may play either one of the Jacks whenever they work best for your strategy, during your turn.

Once a SEQUENCE is achieved by a player or a team, it cannot be broken. You cannot remove a marker chip that is already part of a completed SEQUENCE. You cannot place one of your marker chips on that same space during this turn. To play a one-eyed Jack, place it on your discard pile and remove one marker chip from the game board belonging to your opponent. To play a two-eyed Jack, place it on your discard pile and place one of your marker chips on any open space on the game board. Once a marker chip has been played, it cannot be removed by an opponent except when using a one-eyed Jack as explained below. A player can play on either one of the card spaces as long as it is not already covered by another marker chip. Each card is pictured twice on the game board.
