Any number of people can play. Each player holds their cards, face up, in the palm of their hand. Players can only look at

their top card.

The player to the dealer’s left starts by reading out an item from

the top card

(e.g. Originality-40). The other players then read out the same item. The one with the best or

highest value wins and places all the top cards including their own to the bottom of their pile. It is then their turn to choose an item

from the next card.

If 2 or more cards share the top value or no date is available for that particular subject then all the cards are placed in the middle and the same player chooses again from the next card. The winner of the hand takes the cards in the

middle as well.

The person with all the cards at the end is the winner.
