Each player takes the hand of cards handed from his or her neighbor.

Be careful: the direction of the hands rotation changes with each Age:

• During Age I, the hand of cards is passed to the player sitting to the left (clockwise).

• During Age II, the hand of cards is passed to the player sitting to the right (counter-clockwise).

• During Age III, the hand of cards is passed to the player sitting to the left (clockwise).

At the beginning of the sixth and final turn of each Age, the players will receive a two-card hand from their neighboring player. Each player then chooses one (like in previous turns) and the second is then discarded, face down. The selected card is then played normally. Then the Age ends.

Clarification: the last remaining card that is discarded doesn't give players 3 coins.
