How to Play
Begin: Each player draws a card from the deck. The player whose card is closest to Z is the dealer. Dealer shuffles cards and deals three cards to each player. Dealer turns up the next two cards and places them in their matching places on the board. These are the Between Cards.
Play: Player to the left of the dealer plays any one card he holds that is between the two cards on the board. If a player can not play a card, he must choose one from the deck. Letters A, M, and Z may be played at any time. Players may play cards in any open spot between the two Between Cards. Players may play cards directly adjacent to the Between Cards or any card played adjacent to the Between Cards.
The player who is the first to play all of his/her cards is the winner of the game.
