Once the row cards and starting cards in all four colours have been placed in the centre of the table and players each have a hand of eight cards, the round begins. Players then take turns placing one card next to the matching row card in the centre, ideally with as small a difference as possible, because the greater the gap between the numbers, the greater the chance that the other players will shout “Cabanga!” and throw cards with values between the two number cards at the active player. These discarded cards are placed on the discard pile, after which the active player must draw the same number of cards from the penalty pile.
