Continue play. The play resumes with the first player. The point of the game involves getting rid of all of your cards. You can only play a card that represents a higher number than the card in the middle. For example, in the second turn you should play your "2" cards on top of the "1" cards. Also, you can now play on top of the cards in another player's hand. For example, if a player has a face-up "7," you can play a "6" or "8" on top of that card. Basically, you can only play in ascending order on the middle piles; however, you can play in ascending or descending order on any of the face-up cards.
