If the initial upcard is a Joker, 2, or 3, one or more additional cards must be turned upon the previously flipped card until a natural card (4 or higher) appears.
The top card is flipped over, and placed next to the stock, starting the discard pile. The undealt remainder of the deck is placed face down in the center of the table, creating a pile named the stock. The cards that are held by an individual player are called that player’s hand. Note: When a new round is started, the player who dealt the cards in the previous round assumes the role of shuffler.Įach player picks up and looks at the cards that are dealt to him or her, making sure to keep the cards hidden from opposing players. After, the player who sits to the shuffler’s left deals 11 cards to each player, face down. If the game is being played with two or three players, no teams are formed, and each player is on his or her own.
Teammates will sit across from one another. If playing with four players, two teams must be chosen, with each consisting of two players.
