The aim of the game is to discard all of your 13 cards.

Deal 4 hands of 13 cards. If there are fewer than 4 players, leave the remaining hands as dead cards. If there are 2 players, play twice using the remaining 26 cards.

The player with the 3 of Diamonds starts by playing any of the card sequences (see below).

The next player to the left may play a higher sequence with the SAME NUMBER OF CARDS - either higher in number or same number in a higher suit.

The player may decline to play by saying pass - even if they are able to play.

The first round ends when no one wishes to play a higher sequence. The winner of that round (the person who laid a sequence that everyone else said pass to) now starts a new round with any new sequence/number of cards.

The winner is the first player to discard all their 13 cards.
