Every player receives six cards at the opening. In every round, the round head begins with a card. Other members then take turns unless to cancel a card (bearing down) or perform a card (facing up) of the very identical suit and more special rank. Whoever performs the last board in a round wins the series and starts the next round.

There are also remarkable limitations on the 5th and 6th rounds. If a member fails to gain any performance in the first four rounds. Then he is not participating in the 5th and 6th rounds. Also, throughout the 5th step, only the round head leaves the member card face up. All different players perform a card facing downward. After the fifth round, ends the 6th round will be in consideration for play immediately.
