Why play on Rondo
How to play
The goal
Arrange your ten cards into melds — sets of a rank or runs in a suit — and end the hand with little deadwood. First to 100 points wins the match.
Drawing and discarding
On your turn take the top card of the stock or the discard pile, then discard one. With 10 or fewer points of deadwood you may knock; with none, you go gin for a bonus.
Scoring
The knocker scores the difference in deadwood. If the opponent's deadwood is equal or lower after laying off, they undercut and take the points plus a bonus.
