Follow the steps for Declaration Practice

Bring this focus to a round

A clear plan starts with the current position. 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. Use another round to revisit a decision. Before making a move, check the cards in view.

Work through the instructions

  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.

Input guidance

Tap the answer buttons or selected card; the deadwood exercise uses a numeric input. Next question appears after an answer. Check the relevant controls before continuing. Look at the complete hand before deciding.

A closer look at one example

Example hand: Q♠ 8♠ Q♣ 5♣ 8♣ 5♥ Joker 4♣ Q♦ Q♥ 8♥ 4♥ 3♥. Wild rank 12. All thirteen cards can be split into legal non-overlapping melds, including two sequences and a pure sequence. Return to the explanation when a decision is unclear.

Check this before moving on

Begin with the objective. Do not judge only the best three cards; every remaining card matters. Return to the explanation when a decision is unclear.

Game-specific help

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. Take the next action only when the current step is clear.

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. Keep the active rule in mind. Check the relevant controls before continuing.

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. Use the rule sheet as a reference. Check the relevant controls before continuing.

What should I check before a move?

Do not judge only the best three cards; every remaining card matters. Keep the active rule in mind. Check the relevant controls before continuing.

Can you give an example?

One pure run, another joker-assisted run and two complete sets can cover a valid 13-card hand. A clear plan starts with the current position. 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. Take a moment to read the table. Take the next action only when the current step is clear.

Can I change a submitted answer?

No. Read the explanation, then continue. Start another session to practise again. For a calm first round, focus on one decision. 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. Use the rule sheet as a reference. 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. Begin with the objective. Use another round to revisit a decision.

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. For a calm first round, focus on one decision. Return to the explanation when a decision is unclear.
