I don't remember the exact details I went with since it's been a few years since we used it, , and there's a fair amount of customization possible, but it involved something like A) take 2 6s, 4 5s, 4 4s, 4 3s, 2 2s *, shuffled well, and set aside 1 2 and 2 Aces B) set 6 stat piles (you can declare them in advance or not) and deal the cards out into six pilesC) Reveal the cards. Starting at a base of 6*, add any cards in the stack to an absolute maximum of 18*. Discard cards that would lead you to exceed that value.D) Take the cards set aside in the beginning and add them onto the stacks. You may add a maximum of (one/two/three) cards to one stat, and 18 is the maximum allowed.* Adjust higher and lower for the numbers you want. You might want more cards, with a lower base, but require a minimum of 1 or 2 cards each, for instance.</blockquote>
