The dealer deals the first card to the player immediately clockwise of the player who is the ‘banker’. The cards are then continued to be dealt one by one in a clockwise fashion until all players have received 2 cards. Each player has the option to keep both cards or to discard at most 1 card. Play again moves clockwise starting with the player immediately clockwise of the player who has been designated as the ‘banker’ for this game. All 2 card hands are then displayed. Each player starts with their highest scoring card and compares it with the ‘banker’ highest score card. Each player then compares their second highest card to the ‘banker’ second highest card. The ‘banker’ wins against a player if both of his/her cards beat the player's cards.
