What this is
Choose sequential cards for rows simultaneously, but avoid adding the 6th card. To play the game, they shuffle the 104 number cards, lay out four cards face-up to start the four rows, then deal ten cards to each player. After finishing ten rounds, players tally their score and see whether the game ends.
