Cut to see who commences play. The cards are shuffled and spread out face down on the table. |

Play |
The player who wins the cut turns over two cards for all to see with the object of finding cards of the same denomination. If successful the cards are removed to form his or her stack and the go continues. If the cards are not matching they are placed back face down on the table and the go passes in a clockwise direction to the next player. This process is repeated round the table until eventually all the cards have been removed. The player with the most pairs wins the game. |
