On Par 5's 6 cards are dealt to each player
Remaining deck is then placed in the middle of the table and becomes the "FUTURE SWINGS" deck.

PLAY

All players look at their cards and discard one of their cards face up next to the remaining cards this is the discard pile.

The players then draw one card and from the "future swings stack", and then waits for all players to collect one card from the "future swings stack". Play then continues as each player then discards one card of their choice from their hand.

This cycle of Drawing "Future swings" and discards goes on for two turns.

Following the second round of "future swings" the dealer then takes the stack of future swings and deals each player 2 cards face down. After all players have received their face down future swings each is allowed to look at his/her two cards and discard any two cards in their hand.
