One each turn, you may do one of the following:
Six cards are dealt face down to each player in two rows and three columns:


* Take the card on the discard pile and replace any card on your board, or
{{cardBack}} {{cardBack}} {{cardBack}}
* Draw a card from the face-down deck and either replace a card on your board or discard the drawn card.


The round ends when someone has six face-up cards in their board. Everyone else gets one more turn, after which they must turn over any remaining face-down cards on their board.
{{cardBack}} {{cardBack}} {{cardBack}}


==== Scoring ====
Aces are worth one point. Twos are minus two points. 3-10 cards are the face value of the card. Jacks and Queens are ten points. Kings are worth nothing.


Add up all the values of face-up cards. Any column or row having the same cards cancels their scores and becomes zero.
