About the game
Players are dealt 12 cards and score points by playing poker-like card combinations listed on the game board. Players do not refill their hands and play ends at the end of five turns. Four rounds of this makes up the complete game. A combination played more than four times in a round will push a scoring chip off of the board (first one played), making it worthless.
