When they place a card on the grid, they flip over the faced down card previously in that position. If they drew an Ace, for instance, they would place it in the top left position of the grid a 10 would be the bottom right and so on. If they can play the card (meaning Ace through Jack) the player places the card in the appropriate spot on their grid. The player who doesn't deal the cards starts the game. In Trash, Aces are 1, 2s-10s are their face value, Jacks are wildcards and Queens and Kings are unplayable. The remaining deck forms the the stock pile. The dealer then shuffles the deck and passes out ten cards, faced down, arranged in a 2 x 5 grid. The player with the highest card becomes the first dealer. Before gameplay can begin, every player draws a card from a shuffled deck. To set up a game of Trash, players need to first sit around a suitable gameplay area.
