How to Play

Objective

Arrange all 13 cards into valid groups (sequences & sets) and declare before your opponent.

The Deck

Single deck: 52 standard cards + 2 printed Jokers = 54 cards. One random card is chosen as the Wild Joker - all cards of that rank become wild jokers.

Valid Groups

• Pure Sequence: at least three consecutive cards of the same suit, with no joker substituting for a card. A wild-rank card can count at its natural value. A-2-3 and Q-K-A are valid; K-A-2 is not.
• Impure Sequence: 3+ consecutive cards of the same suit, using joker(s) as substitute. E.g. 5♥ J★ 7♥
• Set: 3-4 cards of the same rank, different suits. Jokers allowed.

🔑 First Life & Second Life (Mandatory)

• First Life: at least one pure sequence of three or more cards.
• Second Life: You MUST have at least one more sequence of 3+ cards (can be impure/use jokers).
• Without both, your declaration is INVALID and you lose with a 80-point penalty.

Gameplay

• Draw a card from the deck or take the top discard pile card
• Discard one card, leaving 13. You cannot return the card just taken from the discard pile. Discarded jokers cannot be picked up.
• Practice is untimed unless you select 30-second turns. Help and other dialogs pause the game.
• To finish, draw first, select your final discard, then choose Declare. The other 13 cards must be grouped correctly.

Difficulty

• Easy: focuses on immediate melds and sometimes keeps a less useful card.
• Medium: protects completed groups and builds useful pairs for future turns.
• Hard: also tracks public discards and pickups, checks which cards can complete a pair, and avoids helping your exposed groups.
• All three use the same rules and take a valid win. None can see your hidden cards or the order of the deck.

Scoring

• Winner scores 0 points (if declaration valid)
• A, K, Q and J score 10 points each. Number cards score their face value. All jokers score zero.
• With two sequences including a pure sequence, only cards outside valid groups score. Without both sequences, all card values count.
• Invalid declaration: 80 points penalty
• Maximum 80 points per game
