A game board is established and each person chooses a card secretly (PMs the referee) of the one they want to play. The referee takes all those first choice plays and plays them in numerical order - 1 to 104. Whenever you play a card that ends up the 6th in the row, instead your cards bust that row and you gain whatever points were in it. Your card then becomes the first in a new row. If you play a cad below the value of all end cards then you can choose which row to bust. Just let us know if you want to play and we can include you in the next new game.
