How to Set Up Tablanette
- Pick a Dealer: Randomly choose a dealer. Switch each round.
- Shuffle and Deal: Dealer shuffles and gives 6 cards to each player.
- Central Layout: Place 4 cards face up in the center. If a jack appears, move it to the bottom of the deck and draw a replacement.
- Remaining Deck: The rest of the cards stay nearby for future rounds.
When both players have played all six cards, the dealer reshuffles and deals six new cards to each player. The game continues until all cards are played.
Card Values in Tablanette
- Number Cards (2-10): Face value.

How to Play Tablanette
The non-dealer goes first. Here’s how a turn works:
