  • It is a tile-based game for 2-4 players. We are inviting our members to make their intention to join the 'to be set up' group by contacting the Group Leader Helen Whitehead (for details see above).
  • In this game, there are 106 tiles. These are made of 104 numbered tiles from 1 to 13 and in four different colours, two copies of each and 2 Jokers.
  • The objective of the game is to be the first player to play all the tiles from their rack by framing into sets (groups of the same number) and runs (consecutive numbers).
  • Players have 14 tiles initially and take turn to putting down tiles from their racks into sets (known as groups or runs) of at least three tiles.
  • To start with: Players must make an initial set of groups and runs that add up to at least 30 points, using tiles from their racks.
  • Game progression: Players take turns creating groups and runs, aiming to empty their rack.
