to play as many of their cards as possible while trying to block the other players from being able to play their cards. At the start of every game players are dealt 13 cards each from a single deck and the first player to start must either place a 7 of any suit on the board or put one of the cards they're holding facing down, which is taken out of play and will count towards the player's score at the end of the game. The next player then places either another 7 of any remaining suits on the board or must play the next highest or lowest card for the card that was previously played (for example, if the first card played was the 7 of spades then the next player must either have a 7 of hearts, diamonds or clubs or a 6 or 8 of spades). If the player doesn't have a playable card then they must decide which one of the cards they're holding to put down. The game concludes when each player has played or put down all of their cards, and each player's score is calculated at the end of the game according to the total face value of the cards they put down (for example, kings = 10, aces = 1, etc.). The player with the lowest score wins and that player is awarded points, while the other players lose points according to the total face value of their cards. If a player's points reach zero then they have to leave the game.
