🎯 Objective

Form valid sets and sequences with the 13 cards in your hand. You need at least 2 sequences, and one must be a pure sequence.

📘 Key Terms

  • Sequence: 3 or more consecutive cards of the same suit.
    Example: 4♠, 5♠, 6♠
  • Pure Sequence: A sequence without any Joker.
    Example: 7♥, 8♥, 9♥
  • Set: 3 or 4 cards of the same rank but different suits.
    Example: 7♠, 7♦, 7♣
  • Joker: Can substitute any card to complete sets/sequences (except pure sequence).
    Example: 4♠, 5♠, Joker (impure sequence)

▶ Gameplay

  1. Each player gets 13 cards.
  2. One card is open in the discard pile; the rest form the draw pile.
  3. On each turn:
    • Pick one card (from draw or discard pile).
    • Discard one card to the discard pile.
  4. Continue until a player makes a valid declaration.

✅ Valid Declaration

  • Must have at least 2 sequences, with 1 pure sequence.
  • Remaining cards should be in valid sets/sequences.
  • Total points should be minimized.

🧮 Points Calculation

  • Face cards (K, Q, J, A): 10 points each.
  • Number cards: face value.
  • Jokers: 0 points.
  • Winner: 0 points; others: total of ungrouped cards.

🏆 Winning
