- Each player holds their cards so a that they can see the top card only.
- The player to the dealer's left starts by reading out an item hom the top card (eg, age 45). The other players then read out the same item. The one with the best or highest value wins and places all the top cards including their own to the bottom of their pile. it is then their turn again to choose an item from the next card.
- If 2 or more cards share the top value or no data is available for that particular subject then all the cards are placed in the middle and the same player chooses again from the next card. The winner of the hand takes the cards in the middle as well.
