How your actions work
Tap the answer buttons or selected card; the deadwood exercise uses a numeric input. Next question appears after an answer. The same rule applies on a phone and on a computer. Treat this as a chance to practise one rule.
Follow the example
Example hand: 2♠ 3♠ 4♠ 10♥ A♦ 10♦ J♣ K♦ K♣ 4♣. The minimum is 55 points. Unmatched cards: 10♥, A♦, 10♦, J♣, K♦, K♣, 4♣. Aces count 1, face cards 10; a card may belong to only one meld. Return to the explanation when a decision is unclear.
Check this before moving on
Treat this as a chance to practise one rule. One card cannot be part of a run and a set at the same time. Use another round to revisit a decision.
