The team with the tipit can gain a point if they successfully hide the tipit from the other team. The team guessing where it is gains a point if they successfully find the tipit. There are three members of each team and each team has a captain, named the King or Queen. The guessing team can call "away" and point at a hand they think does not contain the tipit, or say "tipit" and point at a hand they think is hiding it.
The successful team retains or gains control of the tipit. The TV version is first to seven points.
In the TV version, the guessing team have three tactical choices, each can only be used once in the game:
1. Ddewis Dau Ddwrn - Takeaway Two
2. Ddewis Dyblu - Double or Nothing
3. Siawns i Siglo - Shakey Shakey
