first start with the scoring values of each card in the pack.

• The Ace, King, Queen and Jack are known as face cards and are worth 10 points each, and the numbered cards are scored according to their face value.

• Each player is dealt thirteen cards, and one is supposed to make sets or sequences of 3 or more consecutive cards of the same suit.

• A pure sequence is made of consecutive cards of the same suit.

• An impure sequence can have a joker or a wild card to denote a missing card in the sequence. Also, a group of three cards of the same value but different suits, known as a set, can also be counted as an impure sequence.

• Once players are dealt 13 cards each, the remaining cards are piled up, and a card from the pile is designated as a joker.

• During the game, one discards a card and picks another from the pile, keeping the hand at 13. One can pick up from the discarded pile too.

• Remember to sort the cards according to their suits as it makes for better gameplay and makes it easier to sort out what to keep or discard.

• The person who forms a full set of sequences first, including a mandated pure sequence, can declare the game as finished. The un-sequenced cards of the opponent are counted for scoring.

Tips

• The game's basic strategy is to know which card to keep or discard.

• Unused high-value cards should be discarded fast.

• If a joker is declared as the wild card joker, then an ace can also be used as a joker in sequences.

• Drop out of the game; if you have got a weak hand, you will not lose many points.
