• Double sequence — 6+ cards, two of each rank (e.g. 5-5-6-6-7-7)

Beating a Play

Must play same type with a higher top card. Suit breaks ties within same rank.

Bombs (beat a 2)

• Quad or double-seq of 3+ beats a single 2
• Double-seq of 4+ beats a pair of 2s

Pass if you can't or don't want to play. Once you pass in a trick you must keep passing until the table clears. When all others pass, the last player wins the trick and leads next.
