draw an equal number of cards from the card deck.The cards are classified into three categories: Building cards, Value cards and Location cards.

Playing the game

When it is the player’s turn , they would have to pick out 3 cards which they think is of least use to them and ask the player on the right hand side of them to choose one of them.

If the player has a combination on his first turn or whenever he has a combination, he have to lay it out for other players to verify before it counts as a full combination.

This cycle would keep on going on until one player gets 5 complete combinations and the player will win the game.
