The objective of the game is to dispose of all the cards in your hand with proper sequence or group. There are three ways to get rid of cards: melding, and discarding. Melding is taking a combination of cards from your side, There are two kinds of combination which can be melded: sequences (also known as runs) and groups (also known as sets or books). A sequence run consists of three or more cards of the same suit in consecutive order, such as 4, 5, 6 or 8, 9, 10, J. A group, set or book is three or four cards of the same rank, such as 7(Diamond), 7(Flower), 7(Spade). Discarding is playing a card from your side on screen. You get rid of one card this way at the end of each turn by adding a card either from pile or from the card on the screen. At any point of time 13 cards should be in your side. To show the game, you should have at least two sequences with minimum of three cards in each sequence like 2(spade),3(diamond),4(flower) and 10(flower),J(flower), Q(flower).  Ace can be placed either before 2 or after K(king)

Example sequence is A(D), 2(D), 3(D), 7(F), 8(F), 9(F), 10(D),10(F), 10(H), 10(S), 4(D),4(F), 4(S)
