On the Subject of Points of Order
We are playing weird 4-card KTANE Mao. Play begins with me and proceeds in a clockwise direction.
To find out what the current rules of the game are, examine the cards already played and determine which two of the following rules are active and which one is inactive:
- Examine the serial number:
1st SN 2nd SN Previously-played suit ♠ ♥ ♣ ♦ Letter Letter ♠ or ♥ ♥ or ♣ ♣ or ♦ ♦ or ♠ Letter Number ♠ or ♦ ♥ or ♠ ♣ or ♥ ♦ or ♣ Number Letter ♥ or ♣ ♣ or ♦ ♦ or ♠ ♠ or ♥ Number Number ♦ or ♣ ♠ or ♦ ♥ or ♠ ♣ or ♥ - Ranks must alternate between being and not being:
4th SN Ranks 0 3 6 9 C F I L O R U X 3, 6, 9, Q 1 4 7 A D G J M P S V Y 4, 8, Q 2 5 8 B E H K N Q T W Z 5, 10 -

Only one of the four cards in front of you is valid to play under the two active rules.
