The top card is moved face-up and placed beside the draw pile, this card forms the discard pile. The cards that were not dealt form a draw pile. Dealers deal 6 cards to each player, one at a time, to form a rectangular layout. Both the deal and the play move clockwise. Games with 4-8 players use two packs and games with more than 8 use three.
In a game with 2-4 players, a standard 52-card deck will suffice.
