Using the game is a breeze. First, gather 3 to 6 players. For the basic game, start with one trick. The led card will tell you whether high or low cards lead to the next trick. The high card wins all the cards, which have both positive and negative points. Just look at the suit, rank (from 1 to 20), the High/Low indicator, and the end - game points on each card. In the advanced game, the High/Low indicator also decides which player (the one with the highest or lowest card in the trick) gets the card. So, there are two winners or losers in each trick. When you're done playing, keep the cards in a dry place to prevent damage. And don't forget to check the rule book if you ever get confused about the rules.
