Each card has a point value. In the last hand of the game, each player is dealt ten cards. The complete game has eight hands. After each deal, the remaining cards are placed in the center as a stockpile, and the top card is turned over to start the discard pile. The player to the dealer's left goes first.
Play continues clockwise.
Each turn starts with either drawing a card from the stockpile or picking up the top discard. The turn is completed by discarding one card. A player can only lay cards on the table when going out or, in turn, after another player has gone out. Each remaining player, in turn, will either draw from the deck or pick up the top discard. Points on the unused cards as points against the player's total.
