You place the drawn card face-up in your layout, and discard the card that previously occupied that position, putting it face-up on top of the discard pile. You may choose to replace one of the face-down cards of your layout, but you are not allowed to look at any of your layout cards before deciding which to replace. The drawn card may be used to replace any of the cards in your layout. At your turn you must either draw the top card of the face-down stock, or draw the top discard. The player to the dealer's left begins, and the turn to play passes clockwise.
After this, remaining face-down layout cards may not be looked at until they are turned over or discarded during play or are scored at the end of the play.
The top card of the stock is turned face up and placed beside the stock to start the discard pile.īefore play begins, each player turns any three of their layout cards face-up. The remaining undealt cards are placed face-down in the center of the table to form a drawing stock. Each player's cards are arranged face down in a three by three square in front of each player like this: The dealer deals nine cards to each player, one at a time. We suspect that another deck may need to be added if there are more than five players. We've played with two, three and four players with three decks. Three standard 52-card decks with Jokers are used.
