How to deal

Deal seven cards each, thirteen when two play. The discard pile is spread so every card in it can be seen.

How to play

Draw the top card of the stock, or take any card from the discard pile together with every card above it, provided you use the card you reached for at once. Lay down melds, three of a kind or three in sequence, and add to any meld on the table, including the other players'. Discard one card to end your turn.

How you win

When a player goes out, everyone scores the cards they have melded minus the cards still in hand: face cards ten, Aces fifteen in a high meld, jokers fifteen, the rest at face value. First to five hundred wins.

W.F.A. deck setup for Rummy 500
