A circular board of 76 spaces, four players in two teams, and four marbles each waiting in base. Play one card per turn to exit, move, capture, or swap marbles. The first team to walk all eight of its marbles into home wins the game.
Here is the movement summary in Jackaroo:
| Card | What it does |
|---|---|
| Ace (A) | Exit a marble from base, or move 1 or 11 spaces |
| King (K) | Exit a marble from base, or move 13 spaces |
| Queen (Q) | Move 12 spaces |
| Jack (J) | Swap your marble with any marble on the track — even an opponent's |
| 2–10 | Move forward that many spaces; the 4 may move 4 spaces backward instead |
| Joker | Performs any action above |
Four players in two teams, partners sitting opposite each other: seats one and three versus two and four.

The board is a ring of 76 spaces, plus a private four-space home lane for each player that marbles enter after completing the lap.

Four cards per deal, and a fresh deal happens whenever all hands are played out. The deck is a full 52 cards plus two Jokers.
