1. Choose an Opponent: The active player picks an opponent to battle

2. Select a Card: Both players choose a card from their hand to play and place it face-down on the table

3. Reveal: Players say "Rock, Paper, Scissors... Flip" and turn over their chosen card

4. Winning and Losing:

   • The winner takes one heart from the loser

   • The winner draws a new card

   • If it is a tie, replay as if you are playing normally

   • If a steal card is played, take your opponents card, resulting in no hearts exchanged and your opponent taking a card from the draw pile. Discard the played steal card

5. Hand Limit: If a player has more than 5 cards, they must discard a card

6. Elimination: Once a player loses all of their hearts, they are eliminated from the game

7. Gameplay: Play continues to the left of the active opponent regardless of who won the previous battle and the game ends when someone reaches the specified amount of hearts
