This game is played with some cards (depending on the number of players) from two standard deck of cards. Each player is dealt 17 cards. Then in turn, they play to the table any card. This continues until someone plays a card that matches the suit of any preceding card. That player wins the trick and puts all the cards from the table, except the last one, to his hand. Then he may make one or more melds. A meld consists of three or more cards of the same rank, the player lays them face down on the table. The game ends when a player has no card in hand. Players score for the melds they made, the longer the meld is, the more points they receive. Also there are penalty points for cards remaining in hand.
