The game's rules consist of two separate pieces: a pot and three cards. When the pot is added to the bank, it becomes a "baccarat game". The pot can be purchased by players from the bank, but the three cards have to be held in a player's hand for the pot to be placed, and they will not come with a pot until the other cards are in sight. The five cards are represented by a square, so each player will have five cards, no two of each. Only one player stands, and everyone has to place themselves in the same slot. A common strategy will consist of placing a few cards at the top of the stack just before a certain number, making the pot appear larger than its value, and then trying to get the next three cards before the next "baccarat" pot is placed.
