To play One, Two, Three, all cards are dealt to players. Counters are equally divided up amongst the players too. The cards are in sets of three consisting of certain themes. The player who goes first plays a card by placing it in front of him and by reading what it says. The person next to him plays a match to the set, if possible. If he hasn t a match, he pays a counter to the player who led the card, and the turn passes. The player who plays the third card of the set takes the trick, but not before saying a little verse. If a player holds all three cards, he begins with the first, lets the game go round once to collect counters, and then plays his two cards and takes the trick. Tricks count as one, and twenty win the game. Then at the end of the game, the counters are tallied, and the questions begin!
