Kings Rule Sheet

Setup

• 2 to 6 players.
• One deck plus 2 jokers.
• Deal 7 cards to each player.
• The dealer gets 8 cards and starts.
• Play 13 hands. Low total wins.

Wild Cards

Jokers are always wild. The hand number sets the other wild card.

Your Turn

1. Draw from the deck or discard pile.
2. Play sets, runs, or add to melds.
3. Discard 1 card to end your turn.

The first dealer turn skips the draw because the dealer already has 8 cards.

Melds

• A set is 3 or more cards with the same rank.
• A run is 3 or more cards in order and in the same suit.
• Aces are low. A-2-3 works. Q-K-A does not unless you use that house rule.
• Open with your own set or run before adding to another player.

Scoring

Common House Rules

• No jokers.
• No wild cards.
• Aces high or low, so Q-K-A works.
• Dealer gets 7 cards. Flip the next card to start the discard pile.
