How To Play

Queens are wild. Optionally, Queens may not be wild unless one is shown face up in any player's hand.
If a Queen is turned up then the next card (next player) is also wild.
Optionally, if the Queen of Spades is dealt up to one of the players, then hand is folded, all remaining players re-ante and another hand is dealt..
