Cards are shuffled and evenly dispersed to each player. A single player is nominated to be lead. This player starts each round by announcing which face will be played. The lead does so by placing a 1 or more cards face-down in the center of the table while declaring their face. This may or may not be true. Play moves left, other players may:

* Pass, players may choose to not play a card.
* Play, players may choose to play 1 or more cards which match the face announced by the lead. For example, if the lead declares they played a Queen, each player should be playing Queens. However, since cards are placed face-down, it gives everyone the opportunity to lie about what cards they are shedding and thereby possibly get rid of their cards faster.
