How to deal

Deal thirteen cards each from the double deck. Turn one card up as the wild card for the hand: every card of that rank, plus the printed jokers, is wild.

How to play

Draw from the stock or the discard pile and discard one card each turn. You need at least two sequences, and one of them must be pure: three or more cards in order in one suit with no wild card in it. The rest of the hand goes into sets of three or four of a rank, or further sequences.

How you win

Declare when the whole hand is arranged and discard your last card. A valid declaration scores zero; every other player scores the value of the cards they have not melded, Aces and face cards at ten, up to eighty. Lowest total after the agreed number of hands wins.

W.F.A. deck setup for Indian Rummy
