Hi Melody.
Yes, each player gets two cards. I don't know what you mean by 2 lots of 4.
REDA REDB is one hand of two cards. The red A card and the red B card.
Another example is REDB YELB. The red B card and the yellow B card.
I illustrated 15 hands of 2 cards each. Would it have been clearer if I had used
a hyphen or a virgule between the two cards in each hand? Like REDA-YELC?
Red A Red B is the same as Red B Red A so I omitted the latter, and so on.
You said 6 cards ordered 6! ways. I don't see it that way.
I see it as 6C2, or a combination of 6 items taken 2 at a time.
