The objective is to be the player with the lowest score at the end of nine hands. Players aim to minimize their hand’s value by melding cards into sets or runs, or by discarding high-value cards. Numerical cards are worth their face value, face cards are worth 10, and Aces can be worth 1 or 11. A player can call “313” if they believe their hand value is low enough and they can win the hand.
This particular card game encourages strategic thinking, risk assessment, and memory skills. The need to constantly evaluate one’s hand and anticipate opponents’ moves fosters concentration and analytical capabilities. While the games precise origins remain somewhat obscure, it has evolved as a variation of rummy-style games, offering a unique blend of luck and skill that has contributed to its enduring popularity across generations.
