Declaration Practice: instructions and practice

For a calm first round, focus on one decision. Check whether a complete 13-card hand can satisfy every declaration requirement. Check the relevant controls before continuing. Begin with the objective. Start a 10-question session. Read the visible rule label and wild rank, if shown. The same rule applies on a phone and on a computer.

500 stored and rule-checked questions; ten questions per session. Questions can repeat across sessions. Practice is solo, with no rating, cash reward or account.

Something to practise

Begin with the objective. All cards need a non-overlapping grouping, at least two sequences and at least one pure sequence. Take the next action only when the current step is clear.

What you are aiming for

Check whether a complete 13-card hand can satisfy every declaration requirement. Take the next action only when the current step is clear. Treat this as a chance to practise one rule.

From the start of a round

  1. Start a 10-question session. Read the visible rule label and wild rank, if shown.
  2. All cards need a non-overlapping grouping, at least two sequences and at least one pure sequence.
  3. Study the complete hand before answering. Choose Valid or Not valid.
  4. Read the explanation after submitting. Each question accepts one submitted answer.
  5. Continue to the tenth question for a session score; start another session for a new selection.

Using the playing area

Tap the answer buttons or selected card; the deadwood exercise uses a numeric input. Next question appears after an answer. Return to the explanation when a decision is unclear. Treat this as a chance to practise one rule.

See how the rules apply

Example hand: 6♥ 5♣ 2♣ 5♠ 6♠ Joker 2♥ 5♦ 5♥ 7♥ 4♠ 5♠ 2♠. Wild rank 10. All thirteen cards can be split into legal non-overlapping melds, including two sequences and a pure sequence. Check the relevant controls before continuing.

Keep this in mind

Before making a move, check the cards in view. Do not judge only the best three cards; every remaining card matters. Take the next action only when the current step is clear.

Clarifying the way this game works

What is the aim?

Check whether a complete 13-card hand can satisfy every declaration requirement. Before making a move, check the cards in view. Check the relevant controls before continuing.

How do I use the controls?

Tap the answer buttons or selected card; the deadwood exercise uses a numeric input. Next question appears after an answer. A clear plan starts with the current position. Return to the explanation when a decision is unclear.

Which format is available?

500 stored and rule-checked questions; ten questions per session. Questions can repeat across sessions. Practice is solo, with no rating, cash reward or account. Begin with the objective. Take the next action only when the current step is clear.

What should I check before a move?

Do not judge only the best three cards; every remaining card matters. Take a moment to read the table. Take the next action only when the current step is clear.

Can you give an example?

One pure run, another joker-assisted run and two complete sets can cover a valid 13-card hand. Begin with the objective. Check the relevant controls before continuing.

How many questions are available?

This exercise contains 500 stored questions. A session selects ten without repeating within that session. Keep the active rule in mind. Use another round to revisit a decision.

Can I change a submitted answer?

No. Read the explanation, then continue. Start another session to practise again. Take a moment to read the table. The same rule applies on a phone and on a computer.

Are the answers checked against the rules?

All cards need a non-overlapping grouping, at least two sequences and at least one pure sequence. Take a moment to read the table. Take the next action only when the current step is clear.

Will I always see new cards?

No. The bank is finite, so another session may include a previously played question. A clear plan starts with the current position. The same rule applies on a phone and on a computer.

What does the score measure?

The score is the number of correct answers in this ten-question session. It is not a skill certificate or a prediction of match results. Use the rule sheet as a reference. Return to the explanation when a decision is unclear.
