In Hachi Train, you want to not be the last player in the round to have cards in hand. When dealt cards, players cannot rearrange the cards in their hand. The starting player leads a card or set of cards with the same value - but they can play multiple cards only if the cards are adjacent to one another in their hand. If cards have been played on the table, to play you must play the same number of cards with a higher value or a larger set of cards, e.g., 2 < 5 < 3,3 < 6,6 < 2,2,2 < 1,1,1,1. When you overplay someone, you pick up the cards you beat and add them to your hand where you wish.
If you cannot or choose not to play, you must pass, drawing a card from a facedown pile and adding it to your hand. These cards have two values on them, e.g., 1/2 or 5/6, and can be played as either number.
If all but one player pass, clear the table, with the player who last played leading to an empty table. When all but one person has emptied their hand, the last player loses one of their two lives. After four rounds or a player losing all of their lives, the game ends, and whoever has the most lives remaining shares victory.
