At the beginning of the game, you will decide who will be the dealer. That person will then:
Deal 8 cards to both players
Deal 4 cards to the floor
Note: The cards dealt to the floor must be 4 different cards. If any card is matching, it is inserted back into the deck and another card is deal in its place. The same happens if any "point" cards (we'll explain point cards later) are dealt to the floor.
Playing the Game
Starting with the person who didn't deal, they have several options to do, but, your turn is done once you play a card from your hand.
