1. Playing a king in a corner.
2. Playing a card one rank lower and of opposite color on the top card of any pile. (In other words, these piles have alternating colors.) Ace is the lowest card.
3. Moving an entire layoff pile onto another, if the bottom card of the pile moved is one lower and of the opposite color than the card you are moving it to. This may occur during your turn or as a result of the deal. For example, in the layout shown, the first player can move the 7 onto the 8. A king dealt to the layout can be moved into the corner by the first player.
4. Playing any card onto a layoff space that has become empty during play.
If you play your last card during your turn, you win.
Scoring: At the end of the game, losers pay 10 chips for each king they hold, while every other card costs one chip. Winner collects all the chips. If you prefer to score on paper, omit the penalty chips paid for passes.
Tips: Although you may have several plays to make on one turn, it may be wise to save some plays for a later round. First, if you save a play for a future round, it may spare you from paying a chip to the pool. Second, by holding back a card, you may prevent the next players from making plays they might otherwise make.
