The players do not look at their cards and place them in a pile in front of them, turning the top card face up. The object of the game is to play all of the cards in your pile. All players use the center piles to build documents. There may be up to four documents in the center area. When a document is closed, by playing a card, the cards are removed from the center area and a new document can be built in its place.
Documents begin with a card.
The player on the dealer's left draws from the center pile as many cards as needed to make five cards, for example, if a player has two cards they draw three from the center pile. Players may play as many cards as they wish. If a player plays all five cards in their hand, they draw five more cards and continue playing. Wild cards must be named when they are played. To end a turn, a player discards one card, face up in front of them.
