PROGRESSION

INTRODUCTION
Math themed Card game for 2-4+ players.

THE DECK
Cards are numbered zero to nine (0-9). 
There are 6 copies of each card.  
The Deck is composed of 60 cards. 

WINNING
The first player to make 5 Progressions wins. 
Keep track on a piece of paper. 

SETUP
Players cut the deck: The player with the highest cut goes first
Shuffle the deck.
The Deck is kept face down in the middle of the table.
Each player is dealt 7 cards. 

TURN SEQUENCE
Players take turns. 
Each turn has 3 Phases: 
Draw Phase
Progression Phase
End Phase

DRAW PHASE
Draw 1 card from the top of the deck and put it in your hand. 
If the deck runs out, shuffle the discard and draw from it. 

PROGRESSION PHASE
You may play one progression from your hand. 
A Progression consists of 3 related numbers. 
A List of possible Progressions follows the Turn Sequence. 
Note: To make an individual number greater than 9 requires 2 or more cards: 
Example 1: The number “3” requires only a 3 card. 
Example 2: The number “81” requires both an 8 card and a 1 card. 
Example 3: The number “125” requires a 1, a 2, and a 5 card.
Note a zero by itself may not be a number in a Pattern. 
A Progression must contain at least 4 cards. 

END PHASE
If you made a progression this turn, draw 1 card. 
Max hand size is 8 cards. 
Discard excess cards. 



PROGRESSION LIST
There 7 types of Progressions currently available: 
Basic, Algebraic, Prime, Exponential, Pythagorean, Fibonacci, Geometric

BASIC PROGRESSION
The numbers must be related by an addition or multiplication pattern: 
Examples:
88 + 90 + 92 (88 + 2 + 2)
15 + 20 + 25 (15 + 5 + 5)
83 + 84 + 85 (83 + 1 + 1)
79 + 83 + 87 (79 + 4 + 4)
23 + 34 + 45 (23 + 11 + 11)
15 + 30 + 45 ((15 x 1) + (15 x 2) + (15 x 3))
18 + 27 + 36 ((9 x 2) + (9 x 3) + (9 x 4))
33 + 44 + 55 ((11 x 3) + (11 x 4) + (11 x 5))

ALGEBRAIC PROGRESSION
The numbers must be related by an algebraic equality: 
Examples:
7 + 9 + 16 (9 + 7 = 16)
7 + 9 + 63 (9 x 7 = 63)

PRIME PROGRESSION
These are sets of sequential Prime Numbers:
Examples: 
13 + 17 + 19
29 + 31 + 33

EXPONENTIAL PROGRESSION
A sequence of:  Number + Number Squared + Number Cubed. 
Examples: 
3 + 9 + 27
4 + 16 + 48
5 + 25 + 125

PYTHAGOREAN PROGRESSION
The Squares of 3 sequential numbers. 
Examples: 
4 + 9 + 16
9 + 16 + 25

FIBONACCI PROGRESSION
3 Sequential numbers of the Fibonacci Sequence. 
Examples:
5 + 8 + 13
55 + 89 + 144

GEOMETRIC PROGRESSION
A sequence of:  Number + Number x Coefficient + ((Number x Coef) x Coef) 
Examples: 
2 + 16 + 18 (2 + (2 x 3) + ((2 x 3) x 3))
5 + 10 + 20 (5 + (5 x 2) + ((5 x 2) x 2))
