Team members must alternate their physical positions with opponents around the playing surface. Players cut cards and lowest card deals - Aces are high. Shuffle the cards and deal out the same number of cards to each player. The remaining cards are laid down as draw deck, facing down. Each player is now handed with a set of cards and some colored token.
The game resumes as a particular player draws a card from his set, and places a token on the board depicting that drawn card. The play moves in a clock wise order i.e from the left towards the right. Each picture of the card is marked twice on the board. A player can use both the marked spaces as long as it is not occupied by another player. A marker chip once placed cannot be moved until the use of one–eyed jack.

A marker chip belonging to a completed sequence cannot be removed. During the game, the jack's ( wild and anit-wild) are the mot powerful cards.
