-Game Setup: Each player is dealt 7 cards to start the game. A round ends when a single player runs out of cards AND is able to discard. At the beginning of the game, one card is turned from the deck face up(discard pile) Players role one die to see who goes first, after that play goes clockwise.
-Scoring Points: At any time, players may play 3 of a kind(3 of the same card), 4 of a kind(4 of the same card) or a run(3 cards that are consecutive, like 4-5-6, of the same suit). Aces can be high or low. When played as a set, numbered cards 2-9 are worth 5 points, face cards 10-K are worth 10 points, and Aces are worth 15 points.
Starting Your Turn: At the beginning of their turn, a player may either draw a card face down from the deck, draw the first card on the discard pile, or pick up a group of cards from the discard pile. If a group of cards is picked up, ALL cards in between the first and last card picked must be taken, AND the card furthest away from the top of the discard must be played as a set. Then the player must play a card into the discard pile. As players draw cards from the deck, the discard pile will get increasingly bigger.
Rummy: If a player has a 4th card of a 3 of a kind, or can add to a run, any player may play a card on their side of the table to do this(a rummy). Then any other player, or the same player, can add to that run(so if a run is 7-8-9, the same OR different player may play a 10, then the same OR different player may play a J, etc.) Strategy note: Since a player has 7 cards to start, often a rummy or a 4 of a kind is needed to play all 7 cards. If someone plays a card on the discard pile that could have been played as a "rummy", another player may say "rummy", automatically take the card(doesn't count as a draw), and play it on their side for points.
End of Game: If a player runs out of cards, but isn't able to discard, then each other player gets one more turn, and then on their next turn a player may draw a card and then discard that card to end the game.
Final Scoring: When play is over, each player adds up the points of cards on the table, and subtracts any points from cards still in their hand. These points are added to the players total. The match consists of the first to an agreed upon amount, usually 500 or 1000 points.
