The Rules in Short
- The rows: the back row must beat the middle row, and the middle must beat the front; otherwise the hand fouls.
- Setting cards: players set their cards a few at a time, face up, so everyone sees the hands grow.
- Scoring: points for each row won, plus royalties for strong hands.
- Pineapple OFC: players see three cards at a time and discard one; fantasyland rewards a strong front row with all cards dealt at once.
