7 cards are put face down. A player chooses one of these and turns
it face-up. This is "the suit." he then turns up the next card. If the
same "suit," it goes on top. If another suit a new pile is started. When a
card of "the suit" is faced it goes on top of the latest pile. If the
last card is of "the suit" the player scores <s>the number</s> 7 minus the
number of piles, or rather his team does. If the last card is a
different suit, the other team scores the number of cards in
the last (uncovered) pile. Play until a set number of points.
