Object: Be a hero - just like SUPERMAN - by competing in this fast-moving
numbers game full of risk and strategy.
Try to get number cards that total 11-or as close to 11 as possible without
going over. You'll need nerves of steel to decide whether to add another
card to your hand-and risk going over 11- or play it safe with the cards you
have. Win the round, and you can be a hero by turning over Adventure cards.
Be the first to turn over 5 cards in a row, and you've won the game!
