As a side note, the game is usually played with 3 players, so the rules of dealing out the cards for 4 players and up are what I follow.

I'll include how the cards are supposed to be handed out, but as long as the number of cards is the same it is okay to ignore the specifics. The way the cards are handed out is different depending on the number players. Once the dealer gets the cards, the cards are then dealt face up on the table. The cards are dealt in a counterclockwise direction starting with the player to the right of the dealer. Any remaining cards will be placed back on the center of the table. If the dealer runs out of cards to deal, then the deck on the table will be used to continue the deal. Then, the dealer proceeds to hand out the cards. The player takes the cut portion of the deck and places it face down in the center of the table. Then, the winner of each game afterwards will become the dealer.Īfter shuffling the cards, the player to the left of the dealer will 'cut' the deck. You can play a simple game of rock-paper-scissors to decide who becomes the dealer. The dealer is responsible for shuffling the cards, handing out the cards, and playing the first hand. Now that you know about the cards, we'll move on to how the cards are dealt and go over some general rules.īefore dealing out the cards, you'll need to select a dealer. But, make sure you learn about the cards beforehand. If instead, you just want to learn how to play a simpler, and easy-to-learn card game, skip to the end and I'll teach you a different game using the same cards. As a result, I might not mention some special circumstances in the game of Go-Stop such as when only one player in a 3 person game loses (usually there is only 1 winner with the assumption that the other players have lost). I will try my best to provide a simpler version of Go-Stop to help get you started.
