of the pack and then discarding one
from his hand. This is done IN rota-
| ton by the players until a declaration
| is made by one.
A pack or meld is three more cards
of the same suit in sequence, such as
seven, eight, nine, three or four
cards of the same denomination, such
as three aces, four tours. When
player has what he deems a good
hand, he makes his declaration and
lays his hand on the table. He can
declare when he has not more than ten
points in his hand and declare for any
number of points under ten. IF he
| declares for five, it means that he has
five points in his hand unmelded. In
counting these points aces count for
| one and all face cards ten each.
| After the declaration, the opponent
has the privilege of playing on the
melds of the declarer and whatever
unmelded points he shows, less the
amount declared, determines his loss
on the hand. If he held a sequence
OF Z, s, and 9, three aces and a king,
a jack, d nine and deuce Oh un-
NEEDED points,, he loses that number,
| minus the number declared by his OPP
ponent. This is continued until one
player has scored a hundred points.
The loser loses by the difference be-
tween the number of points he has
made and 100. Should a player de-
clare a grand meld. having all his
| cards in melds, he adds ten points to
his score Should his opponent have
|
the declarer's hand, dispose of all his
off cards. he also adds ten to his score.
