Determine of dealer and positions of players

Each player draws a numbered card from the deck and value cards don't count. The player with the lowest number starts with the shuffling and dealing of the cards for the first round and the players is seated according to their value cards from the dealer around the table from low to high in a clockwise direction. SPITE is the name of the game ;)

This only a guideline if you want to use any other way for selecting the order go ahead have fun.

Dealing of the cards

(See Figures 1 and 2 ABOVE) A total of 15 cards are dealt to every player. After shuffling and cutting the deck of cards the dealer starts with the player on his left side and in a clockwise direction placing a card in a face down position in front of each player until four cards are in front of each player. Repeat this process but this time the card must be placed face up, each on top of a face down card, starting again with the player on the left of the dealer in a clockwise direction. When every player has four face down and four face up cards the dealer again deal in front of everybody in a new stack, in turn as before starting with the player on his left, cards for every player until everyone has 7 cards. These cards must be face down which will be the starting cards for this round that must be played from your hand. Then the dealer must place a card of the value of seven or lower card, as drawn randomly from the remaining deck of cards, as the first playing card. Any value cards, or higher than 7 number cards, must be replaced within the draw pile. The next round dealer is always the next player in a clockwise direction from the previous dealer.

Preparation of Cards before the Round starts

Each player must now, with the 7 cards in hand, replace some (or all) the face up cards, so that the face up cards will suit their endgame play the best. Usually low numbered cards must be replaced with VALUE or high numbered cards, which were dealt earlier to them by the dealer. When every player is satisfied that the face up cards is the best they could manage from the cards in possession the person next to the dealer in a clockwise direction must start the play by placing a card on the Discard Deck.
