Each player has a tableau where you can read its information.
The exact course of the game is to be read directly in the original rules. You can read a summary that is sufficient to play here.
Normally the game goes over 10 rounds, in each of these rounds the following actions are performed:
(This is the computer for you)
Here you can specify the number of stitches you suspect in this round by means of your hands. You change the value by tapping the hands (click with the mouse) and moving the finger (mouse) to the left and right to increase or decrease the value. By pulling your hands up, you confirm your message.
If all players have made their announcement secret, they will be displayed on each player's tableau.
Each player now gives off his bet on a player from whom he believes that he will not manage to reach his specified stitches exactly. You do this by placing your betting chip on the tableau of the corresponding player. If all players have made their bet, it starts with the rounds.
In the clockwise direction, everyone tries to achieve combinations by skillful playing handcards to decide (or to avoid making a trick). At least one card must always be played, but only cards must be played which together form a valid combination (4).
Individual cards can be selected by pulling them up. If, together with the cards lying on the table, a combination has been achieved, the maps concerned are brightly colored. Now you can draw this selection from the maps to the table to play out.
If a player succeeds in winning three stitches in a row, he wins and ends the round with a single win (all other players then leave blank).
The round also ends when no player has more cards available.
You get 10 points for each successful trick. The same sum is obtained once again when the number of stitches corresponds to their own statement.
In addition, you get 20 points when you put your betting chip on a player who hasn't managed to fulfill his announcement.
The game goes over 10 rounds and the player with most points wins the game. If, however, a player succeeds in fulfilling 6 rounds in succession (or winning with a wedge-making), a shooting immediately occurs.
This is a "decision round": if the player succeeds in deciding the round again, the game ends immediately with an unconditional victory for this player.
To the total amount of each player, the longest uninterrupted row of scores once 10 is added to its points at the end of the game.
