As you draw, discard, and form spreads, aim to beat the other players at it so that you lay down your last card before anyone else can do the same. Don’t hold on to cards unnecessarily. If you have a chance to start or add to the spread, do so immediately. If you’re confident that the total value of the cards you’re holding will be lower than the other players’, tell them to “drop” their cards. Lay all your cards out to be seen by each other. If your total value is in fact lower than the rest, collect the basic stakes from each player.  If not, you must pay out the basic stakes to each player with a lower value than yours without collecting from the others. Also, whoever has the lowest value is the de facto winner, which means they collect the basic stakes from each player. This means you end up losing double stakes to that player. Dropping is another aspect of Tonk that can vary from one game to the next. Some people are accustomed to only allowing this play immediately after the cards are dealt if no one declares “Tonk.” Others will allow it at any time afterward. If someone objects to you “dropping” later in the hand, defer to them, since they may have had the opportunity to drop earlier and didn’t take it because they’re accustomed to different rules. Then decide between yourselves how to proceed with future hands. If the hand lasts longer than the stockpile, lay your cards out. Calculate the total value of your cards. Collect or pay out the basic stakes according to whoever has the lowest value.
