Zero FAQ

Q): Must I Swap a card, can I Pass.
A): No, you are not allowed to Pass. You must Swap a card OR Knock.
Q): Must I Swap a card even after the second Knock.
A): No, do not forget that even after the second Knock, you are allowed to Knock as well. This effectively means that you can Pass in this situation as a third (fourth or fifth) knock has the same effect as passing.
Q): If I make the first Knock must I be the one to make the second Knock.
A): No, you do not have to be.
Q): Are you meant to take out any cards with only three players.
A): No, the full 56 cards are shuffled each time and 9 cards are dealt to each player and 5 cards to the pool. It does not change with the number of players. It does mean that only 32 of the 56 cards are used in a three player game.
