Useful words a n d rules Deal When you deal cards, give them out one at a time, to each player in turn. Keep going until you have given them all out. Discard If you are told to discard a coin card it means that you do not need it any more. So at the end of your turn you should get rid of that card. Discard pile When you get rid of a card you put it on the d isc a rd p ile. Pick-up pile You sometimes have to get more cards during a game. When this happens, you take them from the pick-up pile. Face down When a coin card is face down on the table, you cannot see the coin. Face u p When a coin card is face up on the table, you can see the coin. Shuffle When you shuffle coin cards you mix them up thoroughly, so they are not in any order. O n e way to do this is put the m face down on the table and move them all around, then pick them up again. Taking turns The person on the left of the dealer usua lly sta rts. The person on their left is next, and so on. Good manners When someone is dealing to you, wait until all the cards are dealt before you pick up your cards. Don't hurry the person who is having their turn. 4
