Game flow: This game is played in rounds. In each round every player tries to collect a precise set of cards, called a phase, by drawing cards from the deck and discarding unneeded ones. When a player collects the phase, he lies it down on the table. After that he tries to discard all of his remaining cards by adding them to any of the phases that are already on the table. When the first player discards all of his cards, the round ends. The players who have lied down their phases get to the next phase. And those, who didn't manage to complete the Phase remain in it and in the next round try to collect and lie down the same phase. The game ends with the round in which some player completes the 10th phase.

The phases consists of sets (two or more cards with the same number showing on their face), runs (three or more cards numbered in order), cards of the same color and runs of cards of the same color. The phases are:
1. 4 pairs (sets of two cards)
2. 6 cards of the same color
3. 1 set of four cards and 1 run of four cards
4. 1 run of eight cards
5. 7 cards of the same color
6. 1 run of nine cards
7. 2 sets of four cards
8. 1 run of for cards of the same color and 1 set of three cards
9. 1 set of five cards and 1 set of three cards
