How to play:
The dealer distributes the cards to the other players starting from the left opponent. Ten cards are distributed if there are two players. Likewise seven cards are distributed if there are four players. After the cards are distributed to the players, the remainder of the card pack is placed face down as a stock.

The player who starts the game must begin by taking one card from the stock of the remaining card pack. If the player has a valid sequence (cards of consecutive order) of the drawn card in his hand you can meld it with the other cards. However, melding is optional. There are no rules as such to meld, just because you can. If you pick up a card from the stock, you have to discard some other card in your hand in exchange. The play continues as long as there are no cards left in the hands of a player. The player who melds all his cards and discard his last card wins the game.
