Gameplay

Players take turns. On each turn, a player take two actions. The actions they may take are:

They may take two of the same action or two different actions. If both actions reveal the same rank card, then they may perform one additional action. If that action also reveals that rank, then the player claims the trio of cards and sets it face up on the table below them. Play then passes to the next player.

Whenever a player has three trios, they win the round. They also win immediately upon acquiring a trio of sevens.
