| Instructions | For a player's first move, he must play a set with a value of at least 30 points (Joker is zero points). The player may not use other players' cards to make the initial 30 or more. A player's first move is known as the initial meld. The initial meld cannot build on previously played cards (for example, a joker on the table cannot be retrieved before the initial meld). If a player cannot make an initial meld, he must pick up a single card from the stack and add it to his rack. Play then proceeds to the next player. Once a player has made his initial meld, he can, on each turn, play one or more cards from his rack; making or adding to groups and/or runs. If the player cannot (or chooses not to) play any cards, he must pick one random card from the stack and add it to his rack. See help in game for more info. |
