This is the toughest part of the game, each player gets 9 cards. Three facedown in front of them. Three face-up on top of the first three. Plus three cards in their hand.

Play begins by only using the cards in the players hands. Whoever plays a 4 into the center goes first, if no player has a 4 then the player with the lowest card goes first.

The player who went first then picks up a card from the deck as all players should have three cards in their hands until there are no cards left in the deck. Players take it in turn to play a card of the same or higher value.

If a player cannot play a higher card then they must pick up all the cards in the pile. The next player can then play any card from their hand.

If a player has multiples of the same card they can be played together.

There are two types of Trumps that can be played. Play one of the above cards. 

When all cards from the deck have been taken and a player has no cards in their hand, then one of the three face up cards can be played.

Once all three face up cards have been played a face down card can be played. Flip over one card only, ensuring your opponents see the card first, and place it on the pile.

The game continues until there is only one player left, they are the Slimehead.
