    Description

    A twist on Rummy.

    The aim is to arrange your hand into four melds as follows:
    • Three or four cards in suit and sequence (straight flush), Ace counting low only.
    • Three or four cards in sequence but all of different suits (blank straight)
    • Three or four cards of the same rank
    • Three or four cards of different suits totalling 21, counting Ace 1 and face cards 10 each.
    At each turn you play as follows:
    • Take one card from the spread and add it to your hand
    • Make one meld (not more), if you can and wish, by placing three or four cards face up before you
    • Make one discard face up from your hand to the spread. Your discard must not be the card you just picked up.

    Play continues until one player has laid out four melds. The other(s) may then each make one more draw and meld, if possible.

    Scoring
    For your initial four-card meld you score the face value of its highest card. For each of the three three-card melds you score the face value of its lowest card. Whoever was first to make their initial four-card meld adds a bonus of 10.
