This is the buyer's starting capital. In addition, there is a gold card with a value of 10. Place the remaining cards face down in a deck next to the board. The youngest buyer begins on the first day. On the following days, the buyer with the lowest money starts.
Play always proceeds clockwise.
After examining the first lot, the buyer may draw a second and a third in like manner. The buyer may stop drawing cards after one or two, but cannot draw more than three. Once he has selected a lot, it becomes part of the group and must be auctioned. The lots are sold as a group and may not be split. The bidding starts with the person to the left of the buyer who selected the group.
