For example 9- 9- 9- 8- 7 is not a legal meld, but 9- 9- 9 9- 8- 7 could be melded together as a set and a sequence. ![]() Melds cannot intersect The same card cannot belong to more than one meld (a set and a sequence) at the same time. It is possible to meld more than one set of the same rank. For example 3- 3- 3 and K- K- K- K are valid sets but 9- 9- 9 is not valid. Sets A set consists of three or four cards of the same rank and different suits. It is possible to meld two or more sequences in the same suit and these may overlap or may even be identical. It is not possible to use two Aces of the same suit in a sequence, but a 14-card sequence meld consisting of an entire suit plus a Joker is allowed. An Ace can be either at the top of a sequence, next to the King or at the bottom of a sequence next to the Two, but not in the middle: K-A-2 is not valid. Melds Sequences A sequence consists of three or more consecutive cards of the same suit. Joker: 25 points in a player's hand, but when used as a wild card in a meld it takes the point value of the card it represents.Ace: 11 points in a set of Aces or a high sequence (QKA) or in a player's hand, but only 1 point in a low sequence (A23).The winner is the player who manages to 'close' the game by melding all his or her cards but one, and discarding the final card.įor the purpose of melding and scoring the cards have point values as follows: Such combinations can be laid down as melds. ![]() Deal and play are clockwise.Īs in all rummy games the objective is, by drawing and discarding, to collect sets of three or more equal cards and sequences of three or more cards in suit.
