  • Drag Functionality

    To change the placement of a card within a meld/ group, drag that card across the screen till you reach its desired placement. As illustrated below :-

  • How It’s Played ?

    The idea is to arrange cards into SEQUENCES and SETS.

    • SEQUENCE is a group of 3 or more consecutive cards of the same suit. It is also known as a Run.
    • Examples:-

    Pure Sequence of 3 cards (Run) Pure Sequence of 4 cards (Run)

  • How It’s Played ?

    • Set is a group of 3 or more cards of the same rank in different suits.
    • Examples:-

    Set of 3 cards Set of 4 cards

  • Note:

    • A player must create one Pure Sequence in every game for it to be a valid hand.

      Invalid Sequence Valid Sequence

    • A Pure Sequence is created without the use of the Joker (wild card).

  • JOKER

    • In each game the JOKER is kept, face up, under the closed deck. It’s purpose is to help players complete their Runs or Sets.

    • Barring one pure sequence, a Joker can be used anywhere.
    • It cannot be drawn from the discarded pile of cards.

  • Draw And Discard

    • With every move a player must Draw (either from the closed deck or discard pile) a card and Discard a card as well.

      Closed Pile Discard Pile

  • Draw And Discard

    • At no point during a hand can a player hold more than 13 (2 player game), 10 (3 player game) or 7 (4 player game) cards.
    • A player cannot discard a card drawn from the discard pile in the same move.

  • Declare & Discard

    • Once a player has finalised his/her melds and believes they have a valid hand to Declare, with the last card that they lay off, they must Declare & Discard.

    • This also indicates to the other players that the hand has come to an end.

  • Melding

    At the end of each hand players are given some time to sort their cards in such a manner so as to minimize the amount of chips that they stand to lose at the end of a hand. This is known as Melding.

  • Melding

    • Players must utilize this time to ensure that their cards are arranged in sequences and runs.
    • You may change the placement of the Joker(if you have any) in order to complete melds that have higher value cards.

  • Winnings

    • At the end of each hand the winner is awarded Chips based on the incomplete melds of the other players at the table.
    • This total is multiplied by the stakes of that room to arrive at the total chips won by the player.

  • HAPPY GAMING !!!
