Up and down the river
The first round deals one card each, then one more per round up to the most everyone can get (at most 10), then back down to one. With five players that is 19 rounds. The dealer bids last and may not make the bids add up to the number of cards (the hook rule); you can turn this off under "Players and rules".
Playing Wizard instead? Use the Wizard score sheet, or the Skull King score sheet.
