The youngest player starts. We play clockwise. Deal all cards. The players look if, in their game, they can form pairs. If so, they place them in front of them, face down. The game can then begin. The first player draws a random card from the deck of his left neighbor. If he can form a pair with this new card, he puts the pair in front of him.

If this card does not allow him to form a pair, he keeps it. Then it's the turn of the next player (the one who just gave a card) to draw from the deck of his own neighbor on the left. And so on. All the cards form a pair except for the Mistigri card!
