INPUT ARTICLE: Article: If you're the dealer, place the card face-up to the side of the draw pile. That will be the starting card for the discard pile, and the player to the left of the dealer will play on it to start the game. One variation says the first player with a face-up 3 starts the game by playing a card from their hand. If no one has a 3, it moves to 4s. Another variation says the person to the left the dealer plays the lowest card in their hand. As an example, say the starting card is a 6. If you're the starting player, you play a card that is equal to or higher than the starting card. You can actually play multiple cards, as long as they're all equal to or higher and of the same rank. You can use any higher card, but it's smarter to play your lower cards first. For instance, if the starting card is the 6 of hearts, you can play a 6 of spades, a 7 of diamonds, or a king of clubs. You could also play 2 6s or 3 8s. The cards are ranked with the ace as the highest and the 3 as the lowest. The 2 is a special card that resets the deck. Once you've played, you still need 3 cards to make your hand. Pick up enough cards from the draw pile to equal 3. Don't draw a card if you have 3 cards or more, which can happen later in the game. So if you played 1 card, you pick up 2. In some variations, if you draw a card that's the same number as the last card you played on the pile, you can play it. This rule only applies if the next player hasn't added a card yet. You must play a card if you can. If you can't play, you have to pick up the discard pile. Then, the next person has their turn; they can play any card from their hand. After the first person plays, go around the table. Each person plays what they can in the middle, then draws up to 3. If they can't play, they pick up what's in the middle. Play continues this way until the draw pile is depleted. In most variations of this game, you can play the 2 on top of any card, and it resets the discard pile to this number. You can also play the 10 on any card, but it takes the discard pile out of the game instead of resetting it. The player who put the 10 down then draws up to 3 and plays any card. You can play any card after you play a 2 or 10. If 4 of the same numbers are played in a row, either by one player or multiple players, it clears the discard pile. Place it to the side, as these cards are out of the game. The player who played the last card can play any card, starting the discard pile again. In some variations, anyone can jump in to finish 4 of a kind. For instance, if the dealer plays 3 7s, someone across the table can play 1 7 to complete 4 of a kind, even if it's not their turn. It then becomes their turn, skipping the other players.

SUMMARY: Turn over 1 card from the draw pile to make the discard pile. Play cards in ascending order on the start card. Draw up to 3 cards in your hand. Pick up the whole discard pile if you can't play. Move on to the next person to the left. Use 2s and 10s as wilds. Clear the discard pile if 4 of a kind is played.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: The easiest and safest way to soak crystals to remove stains is using a combination of water and laundry detergent. You can then soak the crystals in bleach overnight. If your crystals have minimal stains, it's best to soak them overnight in a combination of water and household dish soap or laundry detergent. Use a combination of warm water and laundry detergent to wash the crystals. You can use a soft rag to scrub any dirt and debris that comes off easily. From here, find a container you can cover easily, like a sturdy Tupperware container. Fill this container with warm water and 1/4 cup of bleach. Place the gems in the bleach, cover the container, and set aside in a safe place for two days. If your crystals have a lot of stains beyond regular dirt and grime, such as discolorations caused by iron, oxalic acid may be necessary to properly treat the gems. Oxalic acid is also known as wood bleach, and you can purchase it online or at a hardware store. Purchase a one pound bag of oxalic acid, and get a gallon container. Make sure the material the container is made out of will not corrode in response to acid. Metal containers cannot hold oxalic acid. Fill the container three fourths of the way full with distilled water. Then, pour in the oxalic acid. Wear an air mask to avoid inhaling the acid. You also want to make sure you work outside. Stir the acid, using a large rod or spoon, until the oxalic acid crystals are dissolved. Add the crystal quartz. There is no set time to soak quartz in oxalic acid. Depending on the staining, it can take a few days to a few hours. Check the quartz periodically and remove them when the stains are gone. You need to take extreme precaution if you choose to handle oxalic acid. Only do so if your quartz are very stained. It is always safer to use bleach and water. If you choose to use oxalic acid, adhere to the following safety precautions: Wear eye protection, gloves, and a face mask when handling oxalic acid. Always pour acid into water. It is very dangerous to pour water into acid. Get a friend or family member to help you. Make sure to protect your work area and go slowly to avoid spills. Baking soda can neutralize acid spills, so have some baking soda on-hand. Once you've soaked the crystals to remove the stains, you can now rinse the crystals. Make sure to use gloves for this process and, if you were working with oxalic acid, a face mask and eye protection. Wash away any excess bleach or acid with warm water. This should also help remove any remaining dirt.

SUMMARY: Use water, household cleaners, and bleach. Try oxalic acid for harshly stained crystals. Be careful when handling acid. Rinse the crystals.
