The basics
Collect three cards of the same number by revealing them one at a time, from other players' hands, from your own or from the middle of the table. On your turn, ask a player, yourself included, for their lowest or highest card, or turn over a card in the middle, and keep going as long as the numbers match; three identical cards form a trio you win, otherwise everything goes back. You win the round with three trios, or immediately with the trio of 7s.
