You can play for a minimum of 2 deals which can be finished in a maximum of 15 minutes. Once the cards are dealt, players start playing with their chips that denote the points. A winner gains the chips from the losing opponents after each deal and a player with highest chips when all the deals are finished is declared as a winner of the game. As you can’t drop if only 2 players are in the game, you will have to finish all the deals to complete a game.
