ONO 99

Each player picks a card from the deck, and the player who drew the highest-numbered card becomes the dealer (Hold, Reverse and Double Play each count as 0), who then deals four cards to each player, and places the remainder of the deck face down in the center of the play area.

The player to the dealer's left starts the hand by playing any numbered card face up beside the deck, forming a discard pile, and announces the number.

That player must then immediately draw the top card from the deck.

A player so affected can potentially be at a great disadvantage, especially if they are holding any ONO 99 card.

All players begin the game with an equal number of lives, left up to their discretion.
