The dealer is decided after every player picks up a card from the deck, with the player with the lowest ranked card named as the dealer. After, the cards are dealt while the remaining cards are placed face down as the stockpile. One card is then placed face up to create the discard pile.

The player to the left of the dealer is the first person who gets to draw a card from the stockpile. However, it is worth remembering that players have to discard a card on the table everything they pick up from the stockpile or the discard pile.
