Chase the Ace is a fast elimination game where players swap cards with their neighbors to avoid being stuck holding the lowest card.
Each player gets 3 tokens and one card face-down.
Players may swap their card with the neighbor on their left, trying to dump low cards. The player left of the dealer decides last and may draw from the deck instead of swapping.
The player with the lowest card loses a token. When you are out of tokens, you are eliminated. The last player standing wins.
The ace — it is the lowest card, and holding it at reveal means you lose a token.
Only the player immediately left of the dealer may draw from the deck as their final option.
