Hey! Welcome to SpanishDict! When you get the hang of this place you will not believe how cool it is!

Just to let you know, however, most of the gang here treat this site as a learning site much more that as a free translation service ( I said 'most').

My guess is that had you proposed your attempt at a translation yourself and asked for any corrections or improvements you would already have more suggestions than your rule sheet could accommodate! And there would probably follow a discussion about all the different favorite games, how the rules vary for the same game in various countries and in a day or two: a brand new thread! Games A-Z ( hope I didn't give any one any ideas --- this is private between me and Kelly)

Try it! Post how you think you should say "Place your cards ..."

You don't even have to start a new question, just use the Answer this Question box below.

Three cheers for this response. - Lrtward, JUN 9, 2010

Thanks, Leslie! But I don't need cheers, I need votes! I have got to get rid of those pesky adverts that block the Q's and A's - LateToDinner, JUN 9, 2010

And the one at the top that is church sponsered condoning the replacement of 'for you' with ' 4 u' ... a serious pet peeve! - LateToDinner, JUN 9, 2010

a vote for you to escape ads - nizhoni1, JUN 9, 2010

Eascaping illiterate church ads is a worthy cause, indeed, on top of a very nice answer. You have my vote. - MacFadden, JUN 9, 2010

I can live with the ads that behave themselves and stay in the corner but those darn(!) traveling ones ... - LateToDinner, JUN 9, 2010

Appreciated immensely! What a difference! Thank you Niz, Mac and ? - LateToDinner, JUL 3, 2010

Or cut and paste from another game ...

Baraje las cartas y haga un montón con ellas bocabajo en el centro del área de juego.
