Daifugo in a nutshell

A 52-card deck is dealt 13 to each of 4 players. Players take turns beating the current table combination with a higher combination of the same type and size; when everyone passes, the field clears and the last player leads. Finishing order gives the ranks Grand Millionaire, Millionaire, Commoner and Extreme Poor. Between deals lower ranks pay their strongest cards to higher ranks (the "tax"), and deals score +3/+1/−1/−3 toward a 3-deal match.
