The player that has been alive the longest, starts the game.Place the rest of the cards facedown in the center of the table to form a draw pile.Players can look at their own cards, but shouldn’t show them to the other players. Return any Alive cards not given to a player to the box.Give each player a set of five Alive cards of the same color.The objective of 5 Alive is to be the last player with at least one Alive card remaining face up on the table. Most of the pictures below show both the 19 versions of cards. The look of the cards have changed though. The rules between the two versions are exactly the same.
