HOW TO PLAY
1

Deal ten cards to each player and place the remaining deck face down, turning the top card face up beside it.

2

On each turn, draw either the top card of the deck or the face-up discard, then discard one card from your hand.

3

Arrange your hand into sets of three or more matching cards, or runs of three or more consecutive cards in the same suit.

4

When your unmatched cards total ten points or fewer, you may "knock" and lay down your hand to end the round.

5

Compare hands, score the difference in unmatched card values, and play multiple rounds until a player reaches an agreed target score.
