SETTING

MATERIALS
- A standard deck of cards with one card removed to leave an odd, unpaired card (traditionally the jack of clubs)
HOW TO PLAY
1
Remove one card from a matching pair so the deck has a single unpaired card left over, known as the mistigri.
2
Deal out the entire deck to all players, even if hands end up uneven.
3
Each player privately discards any pairs of matching cards from their hand.
4
Players take turns drawing one unseen card from the hand of the player to their left, then discard any new pair formed.
5
Keep drawing and discarding pairs around the table as the odd mistigri card gets passed along.
6
When every card has paired off except the mistigri, whoever is left holding it loses the round.
