The strength of each card is determined by the number on the card. The last person to play a card leads the next round. The next player may do the same, and so on. If three-of-a-kind is led, only three-of-a-kinds can be played on top of it. If the leader starts with a pair, only pairs may be played on top of it. Note that the same number of cards as the lead must be played.
The next player on the left may then play an equal number of matching cards with a bigger face value, or may pass. The player on the dealer’s left begins by leading any card or pair of cards they like. Shuffle and deal out all of the cards in clockwise rotation.
