Players take turns placing a card that corresponds to the current card's value or symbol. If a player cannot make a match, they must draw from the deck. Special cards are included to alter the flow of the game, such as skipping a player or reversing the turn order, which requires players to adapt their strategy dynamically throughout the round.
