The number on top is used against the bottom number of the card above it.

The number on the bottom will go against the top number on a card below it.
And the number on the left goes against the rightmost number of the card to the left.
9 beats 8 which beats 7 etc. A beats everything.
During a normal game, you will see that each card has 4 numbers. When a card is placed down next to another card, it takes the number on the card you put down that is closest to the card next to it, and subtracts it. If the end result is greater than 1, the other card flips and changes to your color. The person with the most flipped cards at the end wins.
However, there are many different modes to the game. I recommend reading this.
