Then, the person to that player's left will play 1 card, and so on, until each player has played 1 card. To start a Round, the person to the left of the dealer will play (lead) a card to start the trick.

Select the cards you will pass before looking at the cards passed to you. Cards are always passed to each player's left. The chosen number of cards is passed by each player, thus returning each to a hand of 10 cards. The dealer can choose 1, 2 or 3 cards to be passed. Passing CardsĪfter looking at his cards, the dealer decides how many cards will be passed for this Round. Note that after all of the 10 cards are played (a round), the next dealer will be the player to the left of the dealer in the current round. All 60 cards are reshuffled to start each new round. The remaining cards are not used for this Round and are set to the side without being examined. The dealer shuffles the 60-card deck and deals 10 cards to each player. Randomly determine a dealer for this Round. Have the most points in Diamond Crystals at the end of the game.
