Players and Cards

There are four active players. A 32-card pack is used (which includes “7”, “8”, “9”, “10”, “Jack”, “Queen”, “King” and “Ace” cards).

The game consists of two stages: in the first stage, players accumulate penalty points, and in the second stage, they play to reduce those points. Each stage includes multiple deals. The first player is chosen by drawing lots; in each subsequent round, the first turn goes to the next player in order.
