INTRODUCTION OF UMTALI

Umtali is a two player Rummy game that became extremely popular in Zimbabwe until the 1970’s.  What makes this game so much fun are all of the opportunities for melding.  Players can meld sets, runs, marriages, and individual jacks. Playing over the course of four rounds keeps the game easy to complete in a short period of time.스포츠토토

THE CARDS & THE DEAL

Umtali uses a standard 52 card deck.  To decide who must deal first and keep score, each player should take a card from the deck.  The lowest card must deal and keep score. 

The dealer doles out 10 cards to each player one at a time.  The remaining cards are placed in the center of the playing space as the draw pile.  The top card is flipped over to become the discard pile.

MELDS

There are many different ways to meld cards in this game.  A set is composed of three or four cards of the same rank (but not Jacks).  A run is a sequence of three or more cards of the same suit.  Aces are always low in this game.  A marriage is a meld in which the King and Queen of the same suit are layed down together. 

A player’s final meld can be two cards if it allows them to go out and end the round.

LAYING OFF

Once a meld has been played, one or more cards may be added to it.  Players will not actually add the cards to the melds.  Instead they will state the
