Rules of Idiot

1. Every player is dealt three cards, which they aren't allowed to look at and must remain face-down until the end of the game.

2. They are, then, dealt seven cards each from which they pick their best possible penultimate hand and place those cards face-up on the three hidden cards. You want high numerical value, multiple, or wild cards if you have them.

3. After all players have put down at least three cards (to cover the hidden cards), they take as many cards from the deck as they put down (you must have at least seven cards in you hand so long as there is still a deck to draw from). The players are allowed to alter the penultimate hand for the first two rounds after which it is locked in.

4. Cards retain their numerical values and no attention is paid to suit. Three cards are essentially trump cards: Twos can be played to any card and restart the values, Tens clear the pile and the player is allowed to place another card in the middle, Aces are the highest card and can only be beaten by another ace or trump. Also, if four of a kind appears, the four cards are removed from play and the player who threw the fourth matching card gets another turn (i.e. if player 1 throws a 6, player 2 throws two 6s, and player 3 throws the fourth 6, then the four 6s are removed from play and player 3 goes again.).

5. The game is played such that each player is required to meet, beat, or trump the card(s) thrown by the previous player. This continues until one player has no more cards.

6. You can throw multiples if you have them (i.e. you can put three 5s down at the same time), and if you have four of a kind, you get another turn.

7. If you can't meet, beat, or trump the card, you may draw a card fromt he deck. If that card can meet, beat, or trump, you may play it. If not, you pick up that card and the entire pile, all of which becomes your hand.

8. Again, all players must have a minimum of seven cards in their hands while there is still a deck to draw from.

9. The player who runs out of cards first wins.

10. Every time cards are played is a round (the first round is started by whoever has the lowest value card), and are allowed to adjust the penultimate hand for the first three rounds, but only while it is still your turn.
