Family GamesGOOD GAMES. GREAT COMPANY.

Our family’s rules.

For 2–4 players. Go out first to score zero for the round. The lowest running score wins.

  1. The deck. Two packs, including two jokers each. Remove 2, 3, 4 and 5 from both packs, then combine them. That leaves 76 cards: 6 through king, aces and four jokers.
  2. The deal. Everyone receives 11 cards, regardless of the number of players.
  3. Draw one. Take the top card from the stock or discard pile.
  4. Your first turn. Draw one card and discard one card only. You cannot lay down melds or add to any meld until your second turn after each deal.
  5. Make melds. A set is 3 or 4 cards of one rank in different suits. A run is 3 or more consecutive cards of one suit. Jokers are wild. Aces are high only: Q–K–A is valid; A–6–7 is not. Duplicate cards from the two packs remain separate cards.
  6. Reach 55 to add to others. You need at least 55 points in your own melds on the table before adding cards to another player’s melds. Your own new melds and cards you add to your own melds build this total, across turns. Cards other people add do not count toward your 55. Jokers count as 25 points toward this total. You may add to your own melds before reaching 55, from your second turn.
  7. Discard. Discard one card to finish your turn; you cannot immediately return the card just picked up from the discard pile. You may also go out by melding your final cards.

Points left in your hand:
6–10: face value · J, Q, K: 10 each
Ace: 15 · Joker: 25

When someone goes out, each player adds their own remaining cards to their running total. The player who goes out adds zero. Lowest total wins. Scores carry into the next round. When the stock runs out, we reshuffle the discards, leaving the top card.
