User guide

The deal

Seven cards are dealt if four play. Remaining cards are stacked face down in the centre of the table to form the stack. The top card of this stack is faced up and placed beside the stock to make the discard pile.

Purpose of play

You try to attain a hand of matched sets:

• For example, groups of three or four a kin such as 9 of spaces, 9 of diamonds, 9 of clubs, 9 of hearts.
• Alternatively, sequences of three or more cards of the same suit such as 9 of diamonds, 10 of diamonds, Jack of diamonds, Queen of diamonds.
• In a sequence, an ace is considered a low card.
• However, 7 card is available run alone.

After run or group, you can add one card to sequences of three cards or 7 card.

The play

The player seated to the left hand of the dealer begins by drawing one card - either the top card of the stack or the top card of the discard pile and adds it to his hand.

• Each player does the same. Each one must then lay down on the table, face up, any matched srt.
• Discard one card, face up, on top of the dispard pile.
• If you draw the top card of the discard pile (it is called thank-you) you must register it in the same turn.
• In Combat Hoola, any player can do thank-you at occasion that registration is available drawing discard card.

You may add one or more matching cards from your hand to any matched set are showing:

• Add the fourth three; if 10, 9, 8 of hearts are showing, add Jack of hearts, or Queen and Jack of hearts.
• When sum of cards number are below 15, you can stop.

Going out
