Place another card. You can choose to place a card on top of the existing card(s). If you choose to do this, your turn ends and the turn order continues in clockwise order. Issue a challenge. Challenges are done to score points in skull. To issue a challenge, you must call out a number of cards starting with one. You can only call out the maximum number of cards that are down at the time you issued the challenge.
Example: In a game with three players, each player puts down one card at the start of the game. Player one decides to put down another card. Player two decides to do the same, as does player three. Player one decides to put down one more card, but now player two decides to issue a challenge. Player two bets he can flip over two cards without revealing a skull. Player three bets she can flip over three cards. Player one does not feel confident enough to flip over more than three cards so he skips his turn. Player two raises the bet to four cards. Player three also decides to skip her turn, so player two must now resolve the challenge. See next step to see how to resolve a challenge.

You fail four challenges. If a player reveals a skull in all four of their challenges, they will have lost all of their cards. This player will then set aside their mat and all their cards and will sit out the rest of the game. Even if a player had won a challenge before, they can still be eliminated. The last card in hand is a skull. If the only card left after discarding all other cards is a skull, you must issue a challenge as usual. Once you or another player reveals your last card, you are immediately eliminated from the game. If another player revealed your card, they lose the challenge and discard a card as normal.
You complete two challenges. Gameplay continues until one player successfully completes two challenges (does not flip over any skulls). You are the last player standing. The game can also end if all other players are eliminated and only one player is left standing. A player can win the game even if they failed to resolve any number of challenges, so long as they are not eliminated.
