Draw

At the beginning of each round the player must Draw a card, either from the Stock or the Discard pile.

The Draw represents the Player's first move at each round of game. When a player draws from the Stock, the card is revealed only to the same player who draws the card so that the other players can't see the same card and they can't guess which series this player will try to build , this will make it more difficult for them to guess the hand status of this player.

When the player draws a card from the Discard Pile, by discarding the card from the player who played before him, the card is revealed to the rest of the players, so the players can guess which series that player will try to build with that same card, something which will help them in their game tactics during the game.
