If it is a player's turn, he must either

  • play a seven , d. H. place a seven face up on the table as a so-called display or base card ,
  • to an existing chain or edit ; d. H. extend an existing chain up or down by the next card of the same color . Is z. If, for example, the sequence ♣ 7– ♣ 8– ♣ 9 is already on the table, the player can either expand it downwards with the ♣ 6 or upwards with the ♣ 10.

If a player can not play a seven add to or an existing chain, it has to fit , and the player to his left is on the train.

The game continues until a player can play his last card and thus wins the game. Each player who still has cards pays the winner as many chips as he still has cards in hand.

You can continue the game and determine a runner-up in the same way and have another settlement follow, etc. until a continuous ranking is established.

If a player passes, although he could have played a seven, he must pay the owner of the six and the owner of the eight of the corresponding color five token penalty in addition to the three token penalty; if both cards are in the hand of the same player, he receives ten chips.
