When a player has played all their cards, so they\u2019ve no cards left in their hand, they stay in the game. They still say their number as you go around the circle, just without a card being played. For example, if their number would be 6 then they say \u2018six\u2019 when it\u2019s their turn, but they don\u0027t put a card down.
