In Scrown, players are dealt one face down pocket card and the rest of the deck is spread out in the middle of the play area. During a 15 second timer, players may draw as many or as few cards as they like from the center, faceup and in real time. Most cards in the deck have numbers, and lower numbers are more desireable. However, there are also 6 skull cards in the deck which eliminate the player who draws them from the game. There is also one crown card which causes the player who draws it to instantly win. At the end of the timer, whoever has the lowest card wins, unless any player's pocket card (alive or dead) cancels that number, in which case the next lowest wins, and so on.
