I just put both cards in the middle of the table, one with one side up, the other with the other, so that both sides were visible at the same time. There are cards with special abilities, but these are printed on the cards themselves and both players get a double-side player aid card that explains them as well and has on its reverse a description of what happens at round end. Playing the game is also really straightforward, if you know trick-taking. The setup is really easy, with the game board giving you many clues as to what goes where. For The Fox in the Forest Duet, I was able to teach the game immediately after reading the rules once.
