Gameplay[]
Players will take turns playing cards that match the current color or symbol/number of the center pile. If no card can be played or the player chooses to draw, then they'll draw one card. It can then be immediately played, if playable. Some cards, called "action cards", can change how the game plays out. Before playing your second-to-last card, remember to call Official. If someone catches you forgetting to call Official, you are required to draw two cards. Whoever clears their hands first wins. However, if there is a Point Threshold, the game will continue until someone hits it, and whoever has the least points wins.
Points[]
When a round ends, players gain points based on the cards they have. When someone hits the Point Threshold, the game ends. Whoever has the least points wins. If you are playing Teams, whoever has the least combined team points wins. Use the chart below to help you determine the value of each card.
| Card Type | Example of Card | Card Value |
|---|---|---|
| Ace | The "A" card | 1 point |
| Number cards (excluding 8) | 0, 2–7, 9 | Face value |
| Action cards | Reflect, +2, Choice +2, Redirect, etc. | 20 points |
| Loco cards | Loco 8, Loco +5 - 1, Loco +99, Loco Smite +4, etc. | 50 points |
Decks[]
Decks are the set of cards and the mode in an LOCOfficial match. Some decks can change certain gameplay mechanics, while others change the card deck itself. Some decks require the host of the match to own the "More Decks" Game Pass.
