Jokers are occasionally used as wild cards in variations of the standard 52-card deck. A draw pile is created from the remaining cards after each player is dealt a predetermined number of cards at the start of the patti listgame, usually seven or ten. A discard pile is created by turning the top card from the draw pile face up. In order to create legitimate sets and sequences in their hands, players alternately draw cards from the draw or discard pile. Until one player successfully melds all of their cards or hits a predefined point threshold, the round keeps going. Players must be aware of their opponents' moves in addition to creating melds.
