Set the table.
Four players form two teams. Sit opposite your partner. Shuffle a double-6 set face down and deal 7 bones to each player.
Start the hand.
The holder of the highest double opens with that double. Play continues counter-clockwise.
Match. Play. Pass.
On your turn, play one bone that matches an open end. Doubles sit crosswise and don’t create extra ends in these presets. If you have no matching bone, pass; the unused stock is out of play.
When the table locks.
If everyone passes, the player with the lowest pip total wins the hand for their team. An equal lowest count scores no winner.
Count the win.
Each won hand adds one to your team’s total. The first team to six wins the match.
