But if someone plays all the cards in their hand before you complete the phase requirement, then you’ll have to attempt to complete that same phase during the next round (while others have moved on). You play in rounds and if you complete the requirement of a phase during a round, you’ll move on to the next phase on the next round. Each phase of the game requires you to play cards in a certain fashion – like sets and runs. Phase 10 is a rummy type game where you compete to be the first to complete all ten phases.
