Primero Primero A card game for four to six players. Primero is played with a 40 card deck.
All players ante into the pot.
The deal is counter clockwise, starting with the dealer. Two cards are dealt each player, then there is a pause for the first wagering. Two more cards are dealt each player, then eight cards are laid out face down on the table or the remaining cards are left out as a draw pile. There are two ways of playing the draw. The first is to draw from the deck and discard to a separate discard pile.
