If the card is swapped for one of the face down cards, the card swapped in remains face up. The drawn card may either be swapped for one of that player's 6 cards, or discarded. The object is for players to have the lowest value of the cards in front of them by either swapping them for lesser value cards or by pairing them up with cards of equal rank.īeginning with the player to the dealer's left, players take turns drawing single cards from either the stock or discard piles. The remaining cards stay face down and cannot be looked at. Players arrange their 6 cards in 2 rows of 3 in front of them and turn 2 of these cards face up. The remainder of the cards are placed face down, and the top card is turned up to start the discard pile beside it. Each player is dealt 6 cards face down from the deck.
