Line 52:

After the initial setup, each of the players, starting with East and progressing clockwise, passes three cards to the player on their left. This player then chooses two cards to keep in their hand, and passes the third back to the right. Thus, in order, East passes three cards to South and is given one of them back, South passes three to West and is given one back, West does the same for North, and finally, North does the same for East. Once this is complete, play can begin, in which player order is the same as the order of exchange.

== Main gameplay ==

Aside from the dealer's very first turn, which consists solely of the latter half of the standard turn, each turn in a game of kusyeke kherang consists of drawing a card from one of two sources (either the main draw pile, or the discard pile assuming the criteria mentioned below are satisfied), then either discarding a card face up on the discard pile or, if possible, declaring a win.

A card can only be drawn from the discard pile if it can be used to form a meld in the player's current hand. In this case, this card, as well as those that comprise the same meld, are set face-up on the table, with one of them (always the latest in rank in the case of a straight) laid diagonally across the rest.

=== Deal-ins ===

In addition, at any point in the game, if a player would be able to form a winning hand with a newly added card on the discard pile, they can declare a win even if they are not the current player. This is known as a deal-in. A win can also be declared off of the diagonal card of another player's revealed cards, so long as it is part of a meld of five cards or more. Similar to the standard deal-in, this must be done immediately after the winning card is revealed.
