Shuffle the cards and place them face down in a 4-3-2-1 pyramid, as shown here. Each player gets dealt a card, whoever has the lowest card becomes the dealer. The dealer runs the rest of the game, which involves placing a certain suit or value on each card in the pyramid. Click the link above to learn the rest of the rules!
