The game uses a pile of white buttons, a cup, and a wand. The game is played on a table about the size of a large craps table. The middle is the dealer's territory, which is covered by a clear plastic dome. On either side of the table are betting areas where up to about ten players on each side may play comfortably, or more unconfortably, which is sometimes the case. The betting portions of the table are plastic. After the outcome is determined all winning bets will be illuminated, the same way as in Sic Bo.
The main rules of Fan Tan are: * Aces are low, Kings are high -- i.e., after the ace has been played, no other cards will be played on the lower half of the seven. Same with kings and the upper half of the seven.
