A set is a group of at least 3 cards of the same number (5♥, 5♣, 5♠). A run is a sequence of at least 3 consecutive cards in the same suit (10♣, J♣, Q♣, K♣). He may not discard the one he has drawn until the next hand.Įach player is trying to meld runs and sets in his hand. The player adds this card to his hand and discards another.
Each player takes a turn, either taking a face-up card from the discard pile or a facedown card from the stockpile. The dealer then places the remaining cards facedown, creating the stockpile, and turns the top card face up next to it, creating the discard pile.
