Quatorze

Quatorze (the number "14" in French) is a 2+ player card game with origins in Lebanon.

Quatorze is played with 2 standard 52-card decks and 1 or 2 jokers mixed together.

The dealer shuffles the cards and the person to their left cuts the deck.

The cut section in the player's hand is then placed on the table (stockpile) and the dealer deals the cards in their hand first, taking from the top of the stockpile if needed.

Melding is how players get rid of their cards in order to maintain a low score.

After a player has put down a minimum of 51, they can begin to place sets as they collect them (e.g. they could add the 7 of clubs to the above set or place down the 4 of hearts, 4 of clubs, 4 of spades all together on to the table).
