In "Hell" you need at least three players, preferable four or five, or as many as the table will hold. You have a Hell Pile of 12 down, one up, when you play the last card of the Hell Pile you're out, and you shout "HELL"! Everyone is penalized by the cards left in their Hell Pile, and rewarded to a lesser degree by the number of cards they played out. So, each player has a Hell Pile, and four spots to play on their own hand (black/red descending). You flip through the rest of the deck three cards at a time, while watching like a hawk for plays on the board (or on your hand, because if you stack piles on your hand you can fill the empty spot with a card from the Hell Pile). You want to play out, but the ultimate goal is just to get rid of the 13 cards in that Hell Pile.

gives you a little joy or excitement or awe, then you're on the right track.
