- The game starts with one card on the table and six cards in the hands of each player
- The winner is the first one to run out of cards
- When it's your turn, play one card that matches the card on the table, by number or suit
- If you don't have such a card, click on the Draw Pile to pick up one card. If you still don't have it, click the "Pass" button
- Before you play the penultimate card, click on the Hand button (as if you were raising your hand), and only then play the penultimate card. Now there will be a raised hand next to your picture, which will signal to other players that you only have one card left and that you can win soon.
Special cards
- The Jack can be played on any other card, regardless of the suit, except for another Jack. When you play it, you will be offered to choose which suit the next player will have to play.
- Eight skips the next player
- A Seven means that the next player must draw 2 cards from the draw pile, unless he also has a seven that he can play, so the player after him takes 4 cards, etc.
- The Queen changes the direction of play opposite to the current direction
- When you play the Ace, you play again. This means that you cannot end the game with the Ace, because after it you have to play again, even if it means drawing a card from the draw pile.
- The Two of Clubs, it gives the next player 4 cards from the draw pile
