Here is a trap to avoid. Or where you may drop your opponents in, depending on your style of play.

As we read in the previous chapters, during your turn you may play as many cards as you want, but you must play at least one.

It can happen, though, that you may find yourself in the condition of having no playable cards, as such you have to declare a "Pass". This actions have different types of consequences.

The rule is: every time you "pass" you pay 50 points, unless you have cards in hand to uncover on your table.

This means that the first time you are in a position to "pass", you will not pay the 50 points, but instead you will discover on the table all the cards in your hand and, from that moment on, play with uncovered cards.

At that point, because you have less than six cards in hand, you have to collect the well, give yourself any points and your turn is over.

In the unfortunate case (but by no means unlikely, heavily depending on your opponents), which later you are still in the condition of not having playable cards, instead of paying the 50 points, again you will show all the cards in your hand (those of well you just picked up), while continuing to play with uncovered cards.

But from this point on, if you were to "pass", you will not have shortcuts: each time 50 points will be subtracted from your score.

Keep in mind that the consequences of “passing” are not a choice: if you have cards that can be played, you have to do so.
