The number of cards in hand depends on the number of players. Two players are dealt 26 cards each; four players are dealt 13 each. When there are three players, two of them are dealt 17 cards and one of them 18.
The dealer is selected at random.
The game objective is to get rid of all the cards in hand.
The game starts with Aces. The first player leads one or all the Aces he or she has. The name itself lets players cheat, i.e. offer any cards or cards.
To facilitate playing, the value of the card to be played by the player is displayed next to the face-down pile.
Having played the cards, the opponents decide whether to accept the move or to call the player a cheat and check if he has played the right card. If the player has played the card according to the quoted value, the checker collects the whole face-down pile. If the player is caught cheating, he or she collects all the cards from the face-down pile.
The game is started by the player on the left of the one who has collected the face-down pile; while starting he or she decides about the value of the card to be played.
