Play continues until someone “goes out” by playing all 20 of their cards.

If it creates a set, the player will “Clear the Deck” and receive an additional turn. If it is of equal or lesser value than the previously played card, the game continues. As in all other play, if it exceeds the value of the previously played card the player must pick up the center stack.

Additional matching cards from the player’s hand or face up cards can be played along with it. At no time can a player look at his face down card until he chooses to play it by flipping it over. NOTE: A player can only play a face down card when it is no longer covered by a face up card. If a player plays a card of GREATER value than the previous player, he must take the entire center stack into his hand, then receives an additional turn. If this player creates a set of four or more of the same value by adding to the previously played cards, he “Clears the Deck,” placing the entire center stack on the discard pile, then takes an additional turn. The play continues clockwise and the next player must play cards of EQUAL or LESSER value than the player before him. If the player drops a set (four or more cards of same value) he “Clears the Deck,” placing those cards face down on the discard pile and taking an additional turn. A face-down card cannot be played while it is still covered by a face-up card. The player to the left of the dealer begins by playing as many cards of the same value as desired from among his hand and his face-up cards in the center of the table (i.e., two Kings, three nines, five threes, etc.). The remaining undealt cards become the discard pile. Each player will have a total of 20 cards. Finally, each player is dealt 12 cards, still going around the table, that they will hold as their hand. The deal continues going around the table with each person receiving four more cards, face up on top of each down card. The dealer shuffles the cards and deals four cards face down to each player, one card at a time going around the table. CARD VALUESĬhoose one player to be the dealer. When this occurs the player can “Clear the Deck” (remove all the cards in the center pile) and takes an additional turn. A SETĪ set is four or more cards of the same value. For 6 or 7 players, three decks are needed. For 3, 4, or 5 players, two 52-card decks of playing cards are needed (without jokers). REQUIREDĮnough standard playing cards so each player can be dealt 20 cards.

And if you’re one of the other players, to be left with as few points in your hand as possible. To “go out” by playing all of your cards.
