Each player draws one card at random, and the highest scoring symbol indicates the player who will start the first hand. In the event of a tie, the players concerned then draw a new card. For the following hand, the player seated to the left of the player who started the game will begin. And so on.

Each player must try to discard all their cards by putting together three of a kind as they are received: 3 cards showing the same symbol. The player who starts the hand turns over the first card on the top of the stock and places it, face up, on the table to represent the first discard. The hand is then played in turn, clockwise. In turn, the player looks at the symbol on the card facing up next to the stock and chooses from 3 options:
The player discards a card with the same symbol as the first discard.
The player takes a card from the stock, looks at it, and decides not to keep it and lays it down face up on the discard pile.
The player takes a card from the stock, looks at it, and decides to keep it in their hand.
