  • Round 2: Starting with the player to the left of the dealer, each player still in the game draws one tile. When everyone has four tiles, each player bets if they think they will play more tiles than their opponent or they can fold.
  • Rounds 3, 4, 5: Repeat drawing and betting from round two. When all bets have been called everyone turns over their tiles. The dealer plays all playable tiles. The player with the fewest remaining tiles wins.
