How It Works
Each round, players receive an increasing number of cards, starting at 3 up to 13 in the last round. Players manage their hands (Hand Management) and attempt to collect sets (Set Collection) to keep their scores low. After dealing, players draw from the deck and discard to improve their card combinations.
