Complete Pazaak rules and tips on how to play will be coming in future versions
of the FAQ.  The below description is taken from your journal entry.

Pazaak Rules
Basics: The object of the game is to have your face up cards total higher than
your opponent's hand without exceeding a total of 20.  If a player's total is
greater than 20 at the end of a turn (a 'BUST'), the opponent wins the set.  A
player must win 3 sets to win the match and collect the wager.

Equipment:
Pazaak is played with a 40 card main deck made up of 4 of each card numbered 1
through 10, and a side deck of up to 10 cards with values ranging from -6
through +6.

Rules of Play:
1. Each player draws 4 random cards from their side deck to form their HAND.
These cards are available to the player for all the sets of the match. Each
hand card can only be played once per match.
2. The first player draws a card from the main deck and plays it face up to
begin their turn.
3. After drawing a card, a player has the option if playing one of the cards
from their hand.  Playing a card from the hand is optional.
4. Only one hand card can be played each turn.  REMEMBER: A player's 4 card
hand must last through all sets of the match.
5. The player now has the optiont o STAND or to END TURN.  A player who stands
cannot draw again or play any more cards from their hand during the set.  When
one player stands, the opponent can continue to take turns until they either
stand or bust.
6. If a player chooses to end turn they will automatically draw another card at
the beginning of their next turn.  After one player chooses to stand or
end turn, the opponent draws a card to begin their next turn.
7. Players continue to alternate turns until both players choose to stand,
or until one player ends a turn with a total greater than 20 (a 'bust').
REMEMBER: You only lose if you are over 20 at the end of your turn.  A
player can draw a card from the main deck that puts them over 20, then play
a negative card from the 'hand' that brings the total back under 20.
8. In the case of tie, another set must be played.  No new cards from the
side decks are drawn.
9. A player can never have more than nine cards in play during one set.
(This includes cards from the hand as well as cards dealt from the deck.)
Once you have nine cards in play you automatically stand.
10. A +/- card played from the side deck must be declared as a positive or
negative when played.  Once played it cannot be changed.
11. The first player to win3  sets wins the match and the wager.
