The game begins with the participant who deals the cards. During the game, participants should keep their playing cards in front of them in such a way that the numbers are on the hidden side and the events are facing them. The game can be played with or without a spinner. If playing without the spinner, at the start of the game, one random card is placed on the table.
The participant who starts first places one of their cards to the right of the card on the table if the event on it happened later than the event on the table. If the event on their card happened earlier, it is placed to the left of the card on the table. Then, the cards are turned over to check whether the cards are in the correct position or not.
