Games with concealed rules are games where the rules are intentionally concealed from new players, either because their discovery is part of the game itself, or because the game is a hoax and the rules do not exist. In fiction, the counterpart of the first category are games that supposedly do have a rule set, but that rule set is not disclosed.
The characters in Guandan (摜蛋/掼蛋) literally mean "Throwing Eggs". The second character is a homophone of the character 弹, meaning bomb, which is also suggested as an origin for the game's name. An alternative name for the game is Huai'an Running Fast (淮安跑得快), referencing the city where the game originated.
Players must balance the following ratios when building their decks: *Good users to bad users (1:1) Total good cards to total bad cards (1:1) Only one of any instant card per 50 cards per deck (i.e., you may only have one "Edit conflict" per 50-99 card deck, two per 100-149 card deck)
For example, if the value of the card drawn in round 2 is 9, and the next card drawn is 2, the value of the card is drawn between the range 9 - 2 (cards 9, 10, J, Q , K, A) As with card two, there is a third option of "same", which is a prediction that the value will match one of the two cards already present.

Eldest hand is the first player dealt a 3 as an upcard. If no player has 3 face up, then the first player to declare a 3 in hand starts. If no-one has a 3, then the game is started by the person dealt a 4, etc. Eldest leads off by playing a card or set of cards face up in the middle of the table to start a common wastepile.
