Rules

Players start with a hand of seven cards. Each turn they draw and discard one card. Players try to collect sets of 3 or 4 of the same rank or runs of consecutive ranks. The first player to collect either two sets or runs, or a single run of 6 or 7 cards, wins the round. He scores the value of the cards in his set(s), minus that of any unused card in hand and collects a bonus for each set. Bonus values range from 10 for a 3-card run 100 points for a 7-card run.
