Rule details

The starter draws five cards. The remaining players, in clockwise order, draw six, seven and eight cards as applicable.

Our interpretation

Here, the German word genügsamste means being content with little. The rule gives no objective test.

If there’s a tie

The cited starting-player instruction does not specify a tie-break. We don’t infer one.
