HOW TO PLAY
1

Deal three cards face down to each player from a shuffled deck.

2

Players privately check their cards and add up their values, keeping only the last digit of the total as their score.

3

Certain matching combinations of three cards count as a special high-scoring hand regardless of the digit total.

4

Once everyone has looked at their hand, all players reveal their cards at the same time.

5

Compare each player's final score, with higher digit totals and special combinations ranked above plain numbers.

6

The player with the best hand collects the round's stake from the others.
