Divide the deck as usual, separating the cards basing on the color of the back of the card.

The red backed cards, the "Farmland" cards, uncovered, form a field, presenting the four rows of colors in ascending order.

11 white backed cards have to be given to each player.

The ten remaining cards have to be uncovered at the side of the field, and are going to form the the Common Well.

You should come to a situation similar to the one shown in the picture.

The dealer keeps the green backed cards, which will reintegrate in the Common Well, when, during the game, it will be out of cards.
