The start of the game has four? cards layed out, and the players select a card from their hand. Then the selected are revealed, and the lowest card is placed above its closest match in the initial layout. And then the next lowest is placed in the next one that is closest to it.

The cards played must be higher than a card already on the table, or you take a stretch early.

It seemed a good bit random because other players unpredictable plays could seriously alter the effect of your card. Often, you might have had a hopeful card. Perhaps a 94 to play on a stretch of four headed by a 85, and then see two other players play a 87, and a 90, and suddenly you are taking the whole stretch to your trash pile.

I think at least #2 and #3 fit for your description, but I'm unsure.

Thanks.
