General Rules
Gameplay is similar to Dai Hin Min, in which players attempt to get rid of their cards first. When played as a drinking game, the following rules may be used:
- A card of rank equal to the number of players in the game (generally 3-6) is a "social", and when played all players must drink twice. This card may be played on any card or combination of cards. Multiple "socials" can be played at once or consecutively. The following player then plays based on the combination of cards that was played before the "social".
- If a player passes, he or she must drink. Sometimes this is limited so it only applies if anyone else can play before the pile is cleared.
- When a player matches the rank of the previously played card combination (only possible when playing singles, pairs or with wilds), the next player's turn is skipped. A skipped player must drink. For instance, if a 3 is played on top of another 3, the next player is skipped and must drink. If a three is then played by the player after the skipped player, the player after him is skipped and drinks.
- Twos (and occasionally red threes) are declared "clear cards" which can be played on top of any card, allowing the player to "clear" the stack and start fresh. Playing a clear card does not forfeit a player's turn, as he/she is responsible for starting the next pile.

Famous quotes containing the words general and/or rules:
“The general feeling was, and for a long time remained, that one had several children in order to keep just a few. As late as the seventeenth century . . . people could not allow themselves to become too attached to something that was regarded as a probable loss. This is the reason for certain remarks which shock our present-day sensibility, such as Montaignes observation, I have lost two or three children in their infancy, not without regret, but without great sorrow.”
—Philippe Ariés (20th century)
“For rhetoric, he could not ope
His mouth, but out there flew a trope;
And when he happend to break off
I th middle of his speech, or cough,
H had hard words ready to show why,
And tell what rules he did it by;”
—Samuel Butler (16121680)
