RULES

• DEAL
  • Use two decks of cards combined.
  • After shuffling the combined decks, the dealer deals 11 cards to each player and places the remaining cards face down in the center of the table, creating the “main pile.”
  • The dealer flips the top card up to create the “discard pile” next to the “main pile.”
  • The player who deals rotates each round; the player to the left of the dealer starts each round.

• PLAYER'S TURN
  • Each player's turn consists of:
    • Draw: Draw from either the top card in the “discard pile" or the top card from the “main pile.”
    • Play: Play if you like by creating piles of the round's required cards or adding to another player's pile.
    • Discard: Discard one card into the “discard pile.”
  • Note: A player cannot start their piles until they have all the required cards for the round. A player cannot play on others' piles until they have started their own piles.

• BUYING CARDS
  • Players can buy a card from the discard pile out of turn, twice per round.
  • Other players in front of the buyer must allow or disallow the purchase. If disallowed, the player who disallowed it must buy the card with a 2-card penalty, unless it is their turn (no penalty).
  • The following player cannot draw from underneath a “bought” card; they must draw from the “main pile.”
  • Each buy costs 2 extra cards, drawn from the “main pile.”

• SPECIAL RULES & DEFINITIONS
  • Runs: A run is a sequence of four or more suited cards.
  • Sets: A set is at least three cards of the same rank.
  • Aces: Can be high or low, but a player can't go around the horn (e.g., King, Ace, Two is not acceptable).
  • Jokers: Are wild.

• SCORING POINTS
  • Face cards: 10 points each.
  • Aces: 20 points each.
  • Jokers: 50 points each.
  • After a player runs out of cards, every player counts the points of the cards left in their hands, and those numbers are tallied. The player with the least points after all 7 rounds wins.
