Declaration Practice: learn through an example
Before making a move, check the cards in view. Check whether a complete 13-card hand can satisfy every declaration requirement. Return to the explanation when a decision is unclear. Take a moment to read the table. 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.
A small practice goal
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. Check the relevant controls before continuing.
The challenge in front of you
Check whether a complete 13-card hand can satisfy every declaration requirement. Use another round to revisit a decision. Take a moment to read the table.
From the start of a round
- Start a 10-question session. Read the visible rule label and wild rank, if shown.
- All cards need a non-overlapping grouping, at least two sequences and at least one pure sequence.
- Study the complete hand before answering. Choose Valid or Not valid.
- Read the explanation after submitting. Each question accepts one submitted answer.
- 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. Return to the explanation when a decision is unclear. For a calm first round, focus on one decision.
Work through an example
Example hand: Joker 2♣ 5♣ K♥ 4♠ 10♦ 6♠ A♣ 5♣ J♠ J♠ 4♥ 8♥. Wild rank 5. No full grouping meets the two-sequence and pure-sequence requirement. The penalty for this hand is 74 points. The same rule applies on a phone and on a computer.
A mistake to avoid
A clear plan starts with the current position. Do not judge only the best three cards; every remaining card matters. Use another round to revisit a decision.
