The game is usually played by 2,3 or 4 players. In our variant you can play Rummy for 4 players where each player scores for himself.

All 52 cards from the standard French deck are used in the game. Depending on the session options, the Low Ace or High Ace rule is applied:

• In Low Ace, the rank of cards in which sequences can be formed is:
  A, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, J, Q, K
• In High Ace, the rank of cards in which sequences can be formed is
  2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, J, Q, K, A

The card values used for calculating the hand score are as follows:

• Face cards (K, Q, J) are worth 10 points each.
• Aces are worth 1 or 15 points, depending on the session options (Low Ace or High Ace, respectively).
• Number cards are worth their face value – for example, a six is worth 6 points, a four is 4 points, and so on.

Each betting interval, or round, begins with a player betting one or more chips. Each player either ‘calls’, ‘raises’, or drops depending on where they stand currently in their game.

When a player drops, they forfeit any chips they have placed in the pot. The drop is also called as folding, in this case the player puts no chips in the pot and withdraws their hand.

A betting interval finishes when the bets are equalised, which means that each player has either put in the same number of chips as their predecessors or has dropped.
