What is meant by 'round' here? thanks

Context:

Precedural tips: Ask for a round of cards with different ideas. Intuitively begin to form 4-6 pairs of idea cards. Look for new relationships, innovative thinking, not just cards with the same key word

everyone gets a turn

to turn in a card with different ideas. Pretty much, you go around the table asking every team member to contribute their idea cards.

These cards seem to be flash cards that the participants fill in with their concept ideas - a brainstorming exercise.

see explanation

round: (from Merriam-Webster) a unit of card play constituted by each player's having had a turn (as in playing a card, receiving a card in the deal, dealing, or betting)
a unit or division of play in a sports contest or game which occupies a stated period of time, covers a prescribed distance, includes a specified number of moves or plays, or gives each player one turn

A "round" of cards is a cycle of playing cards, after everyone has had a turn.
However "round" can be used to describe a "cycle" of almost anything, such as a few card games, etc.

to be dealt cards

In this context it is not a game of cards, but some form of training or learning. It is saying, "ask to be dealt(given) some cards", at random.
