To win the game, you must acquire 5 Player cards.
These 5 Player cards must represent at least 3 of the 5 different band sections in the game.
(Brass, Color Guard, Drumline, Front Ensemble or Woodwind)
You must pair those 5 Player cards with 5 Equipment cards from matching sections.
Your Band is full once you have acquired 5 Player cards and 5 matching Equipment cards.
Play Bonus cards to increase your chances of winning.
Quick Bonus cards provided an immediate bonus and Band Bonus cards provide a longer-lasting bonus effect.
Play Penalty cards to hinder the success of your opponents.
Quick Penalty cards provide an immediate penalty and Band Penalty cards provide longer-lasting penalty effects. But play them wisely. Some Penalty cards affect everyone, even the person who played it.
Once your band is full, you can draw a Drum Major card.
If you can keep the Drum Major card in your band for a full round, you win!
