Question

What happens if one of the piles runs out of cards, but you don't have all the kings yet? You don't have any cards to draw from at that point.

Community Answer

If you run out of cards in a stack to turn over, turn over another card from the 13th (King pile), then continue playing as normal.

Question

Can you put more than one of the card on top of the same one?

Community Answer

You're on the right track by matching like-cards, but you should put your same-numbered cards below the stack, not on top of it.

Question

What do I do with the aces?

Community Answer

Aces are 1 o'clock in this game, so they function like all the other numbers.

Question

Do I put the cards in the pile or next to it?

Community Answer

You put them underneath the pile for an ace to a queen. If it's a king, you put it next to the thirteenth pile. The piles are like hours of a clock.

Question

If I turn over four cards (all the same number) and there are cards left on the table, where do I pick my next card from?

Community Answer

If that happens, you take a card from the King pile (the 13th pile) and continue playing as normal.

Question

Where are cards drawn from if the cards run out in the King pile?

Community Answer

From my experience, you take from the Queen pile, and if that's done too, then keep going clockwise. When all the piles have run out of cards, you have a winner.

Question

What should I do when I get a double card?

Community Answer

You put it on the same pile and pick another one up from the pile. If there are no cards left on the pile, you pick one up from the four cards in the middle.
