| Play a "Tim the Shearer" Card |

- He draws a new card from the deck to replenish to 6 cards in hand. - If he wants he can now exchange a card. SPECIAL CASE: If he puts a minus card on the table, he can take in exchange any table card he likes.He is not required to exchange it for a plus card of the same color! - The other players must now, as their only options, take a minus card into hand and put onto the table either a plus card, a "Tim" or a "Benny" card. A minus card may not be laid down. When every opponent has taken a minus card, or there are none left on the table, play resumes as normal. - May not be played if no minus card on the table and player does not put a minus card there. |

his hand for the card of his choice from the table.
- If 3 or more minus cards are on the table, a player can exchange the table cards for 5 new ones from the deck. This is not required, however. - If all players have passed without taking any other option, the cards on the table are exchanged for new ones. |
| End of the Round | When a player has managed to collect 6 plus cards of the same color, the round is over. The points are counted and recorded. |
