Guide details
Run it cleanly
How the result works
Use Rummy 500 values: melded cards count for the player, cards left in hand count against them.
Example: Dealer gives each player seven cards, turns one discard up, and places the stock within reach.
Keep it clean
Adding chips, a dealer marker, or a separate score sheet. This one-deck run keeps dealer order and points aloud.
