If a player leads a card which is not the lowest card in that suit, he must pay one chip to each player and may not collect for any money cards he plays following this error for the remainder of the hand. If he has no such card the turn passes to the left. When the sequence ends, the player who made the last move begins the next series by discarding the lowest card in a suit of the opposite color of the last sequence. The player holding the next highest card in sequence in the same suit plays it, and so on, until the sequence is halted either by the ace or by a card in the dummy hand. He can play any suit but must play the lowest card in that suit in his hand.

The player to the left of the dealer plays first. The extra hand is never seen except by the player who uses it. The player who buys the extra hand plays only that hand. The dealer keeps the chips paid for the extra hand. Only players whose hand do not contain any bonus cards may bid for extra hand. The dealer has the right to either exchange the dummy hand for his own, providing his original hand does not contain any bonus cards (as illustrated on the playing board) or to sell the dummy hand to the highest bidder. It is not necessary for all players to receive the same amount of cards. The dealer deal's out all the cards in the deck beginning from his left by giving each player including himself, one card and addition dealing one dummy hand which is dealt at the end of each round.
