On each turn, a player must draw one card:

• Either from the top of the closed deck (stock pile).
• Or from the top of the open discard pile (only the top card is available).

On each turn, a player must draw one card:

Meld combinations onto the table if they meet the rules:

• Pure Sequence: 3+ consecutive cards of the same suit without jokers (e.g., 7♣, 8♣, 9♣).
• Impure Sequence: 3+ consecutive cards of the same suit with a joker (e.g., J♥, Q♥, Joker).
• Set: 3 or 4 cards of the same rank but different suits (e.g., 5♦, 5♠, 5♥).

Add cards to existing melds (their own or opponents’).

• The player must discard one card face-up onto the open discard pile.
• Play passes clockwise to the next player.

• If a player arranges all 13 cards into valid combinations (meeting the above requirements), they declare "Rummy" and reveal their cards.
• Winning Condition: At least one pure sequence + other valid combinations.

Round Winner: Scores 0 points.

Losing Players: Points are tallied based on unmelded cards:

• Number Cards (2-10): Face value (e.g., 5♦ = 5 points).
• Face Cards (J, Q, K): 10 points.
• Aces: 10 points.
• Jokers: 15 points.

Important Notes:

• If a player hasn’t made any valid melds before someone declares "Rummy," their penalty points are doubled.
• If the closed deck runs out, the discard pile (except the top card) is shuffled to form a new stock.
