When any player has all 9 cards face up the round ends immediately. Any remaining face down cards are flipped (with no effect). Score all cards. The card in the center is worth double. Shuffle the deck, deal new cards and begin a new round starting with the player with the lowest score. The player with the most points after 3 rounds is the winner. Tied players share the victory.
