In turn each player, with or without drawing the top card from the stock, places one or more cards of the same rank from their hand onto a pile next to the stock according to the following rules: A player who cannot or does not want to play, must take the entire pile in hand and the turn rotates left.
A player who gets rid of all their cards after the stock has been exhausted is out and does not participate in the game any more.
In Valepaska, also called Valepaskahousu and Kusetuspaskahousu and often considered standard Paskahousu in English literature, the cards are played face down, and players announce the cards that they play (for example "one jack" or "three eights").
According to Finnish website Korttipelit (card games), there are no standard rules for which player continues play following a challenge.
If the play is not in accordance with the rules, the player must pick up the entire pile into their hand.
[1] To avoid deadlocks and lengthy games, some rules may be relaxed after the stock is depleted, such as: In Ruotsalainen paskahousu (Swedish Paskahousu) all the cards are dealt, and there is no stock.
