Возникли проблемы с кодом, как повторно инициализировать плеер

Поэтому, когда я запускаю код (есть еще 5 файлов, которые идут с этим), предполагается, что карточная игра будет длиться до 10 раундов и определить победителя. Однако я дохожу только до первого раунда, а затем он заканчивается. Мне помогли разобраться в том, что могло быть не так. Мне нужно повторно инициализировать мой плеер, чтобы он перестал Исключение нулевого указателя

Вот мой класс игрока на всякий случай:

public class Player

    //Constructors
    public Player(String name)
    {
        hand = new Hand();
        this.name = name;
    }
    
    //prints and determines the card the player will play
    public Card playCard()
    {
        Card playerCard = hand.playCard();
        System.out.println(String.format("%5s", name) + playerCard.getName());
        return playerCard;
    }
    
    //takes the card if player can match
    public void takeCard(Card card)
    {
        hand.addCard(card);
    }
    
    public String getName()
    {
        return name;
    }
    
    //how the hand of player
    public void showHand()
    {
        System.out.println(name + " hand " + hand.getSize() + ":");
        hand.show();
        System.out.println();
    }
    
    //get the size of players' hand
    public int handSize()

    }
