Randomize and sort into facedown packs of 13. Each player gets 3 packs.
Arrange the parties in alternating seats, then have everyone open their first pack. Each player selects 1 card and sets it aside facedown, then passes the remaining contents to the left. This continues until the pack is exhausted.
Then repeat the process for pack 2 , passing to the right this time.
For the third pack pass to the left a final time.
Players should not announce their picks or what they're trying to build.
