Jakers variation

Jakers is a variation on Nertz where, like Hoorah!, four piles are used in the personal play area. The word called at the end of the round is "Jakers." The scoring is essentially the same as Hoorah! except that the person or team who calls "Jakers" counts each card played in the general area as two points instead of one. Each card left in the Bone pile subtracts one point from the player or team's score. Jakers is usually played to higher scores such as 300, but can be varied depending on the desired length of gameplay.
