Players are each dealt a face down card. There is a round of forced trading and a round of playing special modifiers, after which the worst card is the loser and loses a battery. If you lose all your batteries you are out. The heart of the game is in judging if a forced trade is worthwhile, with some take-that spite to prevent a runaway leader.
