- Parker Brothers released a CD-ROM of card games and Rack-o was included in the disc so I have been playing a lot of Rack-o lately. It seems that you have to learn to play the odds. If during the initial deal you get lots of low or high numbers you may be better off trying to get as high of a score as possible rather than trying for Rack-o.
- Many card games leave the victory up to luck and chance, but Hasbro's RACKO combines luck with some strategy and skill. Players fill their racks with cards and compete to order their hands from lowest to highest; the first person to do so wins the round, and the first person to score 500 points wins the game.
- Since the 1950s, families have enjoyed playing Rack-O, a fun-filled rack 'em up card game. This new edition features high-quality cards with bold numbers, bu.

Rack-O is a Milton Bradley sequential-matchingcard game with the objective of obtaining 10 numbers, in numerical order, in one's hand. Score may be kept on a separate piece of paper, based upon either a custom system or the system provided in the rule book. Rack-O allows between 2-4 players, and is recommended for players age 8 and up.[3] Rack-O was released in 1956 and is currently being produced by Winning Moves.
So the new Racko is a reliable source of numerical trivia. It also adds a new spin to the old game, allowing the players to take cards from other players and rearrange their own cards based on the special cards that come up in the deck. The instructions are excellent, and the game can be played as Classic Racko by removing the special cards.
Game play[edit]
The deck consists of 60 cards, each containing a number from 1 to 60. Depending on how many people are playing, the deck may be reduced in size. If two people are playing, only the cards from 1 to 40 are used; if three people are playing, the cards from 1 to 50 are used; and if four people are playing, the entire deck is used. Each player has a rack containing 10 slots to hold their cards.[4]
A dealer shuffles the cards and deals 10 to each player. A player must place each card as it is received into the highest available slot in their rack, starting at slot #10, without rearranging any of them. The goal of each hand is to create a sequence of numbers in ascending order, starting at slot #1.
The top card of the deck is turned over to start the discard pile. A player takes a turn by taking the top card from either the deck or the discard pile, then discarding one from their rack and inserting the new card in its place. A player who draws the top card from the deck may immediately discard it; however, when a player takes the top discard, they must put it in their rack and discard a different one.
The first player to get 10 cards in ascending order calls 'Rack-O!' and wins the hand.
Point System[edit]
While it is very easy to play with a custom point system or none at all, the game has a default described in the rulebook:[5]
Racko Game Target
The winner of a hand scores 75 points. Other players receive 5 points for each card they have in ascending order, starting at slot #1 and ending when the sequence breaks. The first player to score 500 points wins the game.
An optional scoring system is 'Bonus Rack-O,' which awards extra points to the winner of the hand for having a sequence of consecutive numbers (such as 7, 8, 9). Sequences of 3, 4, 5, or 6 cards award 50, 100, 200, or 400 points, respectively.
