How to use
Begin by distributing tiles and placing racks in front of each player. On each turn, players draw or play tiles to build valid sets and runs according to the rule set, rearranging tiles on the table when allowed to extend or modify existing combinations. The objective is to play all tiles from your rack; when a player succeeds, the round ends and scoring is performed if using the scoring variant. Keep tiles visible on racks and follow the official sequence rules to ensure fair play.
Usage recommendations
For best results, play on a flat surface with adequate space for racks and shared tile combinations; ensure all players understand the allowed moves before starting, and use the game to practice simple arithmetic and strategic planning in a social setting.
