Depending on the number of players, each player is dealt a certain number of cards, typically seven or ten. A draw pile is formed by the remaining cards, and the discarmatka number chartd pile is initiated by placing the top card face-up. Each player draws from the draw or discard pile in turn, trying to form runs (three or more consecutive cards of the same suit) or valid sets (three or four cards of the same rank). Throughout their turns, players must strategically choose which cards to discard and which to keep.
