What do we know about it? When a player passes to another, is it passed back to him/her?

No everybpdy passes it to everbody

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

But there are only four players?

Then, if each player passes once to the others, then there should be 4 players times the pass to three other players, making 12 passes all in all?
