All the cards in your hand are displayed in area 1. Area 2 displays your ace cards, if any. Area 3 displays your current status. Area 4 is the mile cards being played. Area 5 is the discard pile. Area 6 displays computer's ace cards. Area 7 is the computer's current status.
There are four kind of cards. The first type are the mileage cards. All of them have animals on them. The second type are the hazard cards, they are red. The third type are remedy cards, they are blue. The fourth type are the ace cards. All of them have flowers on them.
Before you can play a mileage card, you must have either "go", or "right of way" on the current status. (You could have "Speed Limit" too, but in that case, you can only play either 25 mile, or 50 miles)
When a hazard card is played against you, you must counter it with an appropriate remedy card, follow by playing "go" to start "driving" again.
Only one hazard card may be active at a time. You may not play a hazard unless the other side has "Go" or "Right of Way" on display. There are four ace cards. "Extra Tank of Gas" will provide protection against "out of gas". "Driving Ace" will protect you against "Accident". "Puncture Proof Tires" will protect you against "Flat Tire". "Right of Way" will protect you from either "Stop" or "Speed Limit".
When you play a card by double clicking on it, the computer will check to see if you can legally play this card. If it's a legal card to play, the computer puts it in appropriate place. If it's not a legal card, the computer will put it on the discard pile.
