Elevator Eddie features three different methods of play: In the basic game, cards which are numbered to represent different floors of a building are randomly divided equally among the players. A board showing the location of four elevators is placed in the center of the playing area. Players then simultaneously turn over the top cards from their piles and play floor number cards on top of the foundation board to symbolize the movement of the elevators. Be clever and stop the elevator to slow down the other players. The first player to discard all of their floor number playing cards wins the game! To play Add-Up Elevators, deal the playing cards face down into four equal piles. Each player/team gets two piles. Players discard by adding up the total or subtracting the difference between the top cards from their two piles. The first player/team to discard all their cards wins. There is also a solo play version.
