Players will go head to head by placing cards from their hand as quickly as possible. 2 face up cards determine whether or not a player can put a card down from their hand. If the card value is 1 higher or 1 lower than a face up card, the card can be placed. That new face up value is then used to play a new card. The game continues until a player has no cards left to place!
