Game play

1. Deal all of the cards.
   • 1♠1♥1♣1♦ are removed for 7-8 players.
2. Depending on the number of players, choose 3-5 cards to pass face-down to the player to your left.
   • This must be done before you look at any cards passed to you.
3. Once all players have passed cards, an eight-sided die is rolled.
   • Whichever side lands face up determines which 7 card is worth points in that round.
   • For example, if ​♠ is rolled, the 7♠ is worth 40 points.
4. The dealer plays first, with any card from their hand.
5. In clockwise rotation, each player plays a card.
   • Suit must be followed where possible.
   • There is no trump suit; the highest card in the led suit wins the trick.
6. Whoever takes the trick leads the next trick.

• The number of rounds is determined before the game.
• Points are accumulated throughout the game.
• The total number of points in the round should equal to 250.
