Findings

What we found

The draw-and-discard turn

Start with 13 cards. Draw 1 card from the stock or eligible discard and discard 1. At declaration, verify that all 13 retained cards are grouped and that at least 1 of the required 2 sequences is pure.

A declaration you can count

Use 3♥–4♥–5♥, 7♠–8♠–9♠, K♣–K♦–K♥ and 8♣–9♣–10♣–J♣. The groups use 3 + 3 + 3 + 4 cards. Two kings of the same suit from different decks do not make a valid same-rank set.
