Steps
Method 1 of 2: Preparation
Step 1. The dealer deals three cards to each player and these three cards will remain on the table face down until the end of the game
Step 2. The dealer deals six more cards to each player who can look at them immediately
Step 3. Each player chooses three cards from his hand and places them face up on top of the face down cards on the table
Step 4. As soon as everyone is ready to play, the rest of the deck is placed in the center of the game and the player to the left of the dealer begins the hand
Method 2 of 2: Rules
Step 1. Each turn a player must play a card face up in the center of the table
Each player must have at least 3 cards in hand throughout the game. If he does not have 3 cards in his hand, he must draw one from the face down deck.
Step 2. During your turn, the played card must beat the one discarded by the person in front of us
The order of the cards, from lowest to highest, is as follows: 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, Jack, Queen, King, Ace. The player can play one or more cards, as long as they are of the same type and that they beat the previous one. If all four cards of the same type are played consecutively the whole pile is removed from the game. If you can't beat the previous card you can decide to draw a card from the deck and try your luck or collect the entire pile of cards. If the drawn card does not beat the one in play, you need to collect the entire pile and keep the drawn card from the deck.
Step 3. The 2 and the 10 are special cards, the 2 can be played on any card and in turn accept any card, the 10 remove the entire stack of cards below from the game
After 10 it is possible to play a card of your choice.
Step 4. When the central deck is exhausted, and there are no cards in hand, the first of your three face up cards placed on the table will be played
Once the three face up cards are also used up, the three face down cards will then be played blindly.
Step 5. The winner will be the one who runs out of all their cards
Advice
- Use the 2's and 10's wisely.
- During setup, lay out your highest cards face up on the table.
