- Player 2 plays a card (6 of clubs) and adds or subtracts it Player 1’s card (5 of diamonds). Player 2 can add to make 11 or subtract to make -1.
- Play continues until a positive 1 is made
- The player who makes positive 1 wins the cards played in that round.
- Play continues until all cards are played
