A practical guide to Declaration Practice

An idea for your next attempt

Begin with the objective. All cards need a non-overlapping grouping, at least two sequences and at least one pure sequence. Check the relevant controls before continuing.

The challenge in front of you

Check whether a complete 13-card hand can satisfy every declaration requirement. Return to the explanation when a decision is unclear. Keep the active rule in mind.

How to proceed

  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. The same rule applies on a phone and on a computer. Treat this as a chance to practise one rule.

One way to understand the rules

Example hand: Joker 6♠ 7♠ 5♦ 4♦ 3♦ 3♣ 6♥ 6♣ 3♦ 3♠ 3♥ 6♠. Wild rank 9. 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.

Notice this detail

Work at your own pace. Do not judge only the best three cards; every remaining card matters. The same rule applies on a phone and on a computer.

Game-specific help

What is the aim?

Check whether a complete 13-card hand can satisfy every declaration requirement. Keep the active rule in mind. Return to the explanation when a decision is unclear.

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. Look at the complete hand before deciding. 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. The same rule applies on a phone and on a computer.

What should I check before a move?

Do not judge only the best three cards; every remaining card matters. A clear plan starts with the current position. The same rule applies on a phone and on a computer.

Can you give an example?

One pure run, another joker-assisted run and two complete sets can cover a valid 13-card hand. Treat this as a chance to practise one rule. Take the next action only when the current step is clear.

How many questions are available?

This exercise contains 500 stored questions. A session selects ten without repeating within that session. Look at the complete hand before deciding. Return to the explanation when a decision is unclear.

Can I change a submitted answer?

No. Read the explanation, then continue. Start another session to practise again. Look at the complete hand before deciding. 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. Use another round to revisit a decision.

Will I always see new cards?

No. The bank is finite, so another session may include a previously played question. Work at your own pace. 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. Look at the complete hand before deciding. Take the next action only when the current step is clear.
