Pineapple OFC is basically a sped-up version of OFC with a maximum of 3 players instead of 4.
Both games start with each player dealt 5 cards which they then set into their Top, Middle or Bottom Hands. In normal OFC each player will then be alternately dealt one more card in turn which they then add into one of their hands until they have all 13 cards set.
In Pineapple OFC each player gets 3 cards in every subsequent deal instead of just one. They then choose 2 cards to set into their hands and discard the one they don't want

Instead of nine rounds of play like in standard OFC (the first five cards dealt at once then 8 more individual cards), Pineapple OFC only has five rounds of play.
Because of the extra cards dealt each time you can make more big hands and foul less in Pineapple OFC but you can only have a max of three players. Scoring, bonuses and Fantasyland rules are all applied the same as they are in standard OFC.
