You'll have to watch the cards that are being played and learn what cards you should lead with should you ever get the chance. Make sure to stick your opponents with cards in their hands once you've played all yours. The more cards they have at the end the more you will win from that round. All losing players must pay the winner of the round for each card they couldn't get rid of.
