Cards are shuffled and evenly dispersed to each player. A single player is nominated to be lead. This player starts each round by announcing which face will be played. The lead does so by placing a 1 or more cards face-down in the center of the table while declaring their face. This may or may not be true. Play moves left, other players may:

* Pass, players may choose to not play a card.
* Play, players may choose to play 1 or more cards which match the face announced by the lead. For example, if the lead declares they played a Queen, each player should be playing Queens. However, since cards are placed face-down, it gives everyone the opportunity to lie about what cards they are shedding and thereby possibly get rid of their cards faster.

A round continues around the table until all players pass or there is a challenge.

If all players pass, the center stack is removed from play and not examined. Whichever player was the last to add to the stack becomes the lead. The lead then announces the face for the next round.
If there is a challenge, this is what occurs. After one player has played down a card, the next player may challenge the integrity of the other player’s card. If the cards are not the face declared by the player, cards on table will be added it to their hand. If the cards are the face declared, cards on table will be added to the player who called Bluff.
