Like the card game, you must remember the cards below the
top card on your discard pile since only the top card will be
shown on the screen.

Pile and top Stock Pile cards. You may do so by pressing the Check
button. (Press Select/Enter to return to Player One’s Hand.)

their Stock Pile into the Building Piles. This is the end of the round.
The winner of the round is then given a score. You may play as many

next round of the current game, press the Select/Enter button.

of them.
