Deal 4 cards to each player. Set the deck to the right of the dealer. Place 1 spoon less than the number of players in the center. For example, with 4 players, place 3 spoons in the center.
The objective is to have 4 cards of the same number in your hand. The dealer takes one card at a time from the deck on their right, then discards one card from their hand in a pile to their left. The next player draws from this pile.
Once a player has a quartet, they take a spoon from the center. Other players must also grab a spoon once this happens, and the last person to grab a spoon loses.
