Make sure everyone can reach this point. Players should remove any rings or other hard objects from their fingers and hands. Note that one or more players may start out with one additional card. Players may not look at their cards, but must either leave them in front of them on the table or hold them in one hand. In addition, the special cards have distinct values, the meaning of which will be explained later.
Suits are completely meaningless.
The play starts to the dealer's left. The starter flips over the top card of his deck into the center of the table. The flip must be away from his body so that he cannot see the card before anyone else. Note that learning to flip cards quickly becomes an advantage. A player flips over a card with the same rank as the last card flipped.
