Next to the unplayed cards in the deck is a card turned face up (the up card). From this card you can either play on card value higher or lower, irregardless of suite. For example if the up card is the four of hearts, then any five or any three may be played from the tableu. The card that was played, then become the up card allowing to continue play. For best results, you should try to play cards that will allow you to continue playing without flipping a new card from the deck.
