Each player is dealt eleven cards for each of the ten rounds.

This card is called the upcard and becomes the beginning of the discard pile.

They may either pick up one new card from the top of the deck or take the upcard.

A player is not allowed to have more jokers than face-cards in either a set or run.

If a player who has not laid down yet replaces any joker they must lay down their meld in that turn, but if the player has already laid down their meld they may take the joker and use it how they choose anytime.

A "buy" is when an out-of-turn player takes the upcard, draws 2 extra cards from the stock, and cannot play the cards immediately, but must wait for their turn.

The object of each hand is to come up with the correct combination of cards to be able to meld, or "lay out".

A set is a combination of a specific number of cards of the same rank, and the suit is not important.

A run is a combination of a specific number of cards of the same suit that have consecutive ranks.

They do so by laying their meld cards face up on the table in their correct sequence.

In order to win, on a player's turn they must be able to draw a card and then go out without a discard.

After all ten hands are played, the winner is the player with the lowest score.
