📖 About This Game

A card game played with one or two standard 52-card decks. Players hold 8 cards and on the 7 rounds of the game, in any order, must play a different "meld," a number of cards from 1 to 7 with a different scoring rule for each meld. The melds are named Rich Man, Poor Man, Beggar Man, Thief, Doctor, Lawyer, and Indian Chief. The game can accommodate up to 8 with simultaneous play.
