This game is ideal for 3-6 players and suitable for Ages 8+ and Adults A minimum deck of two standard 52 card packs including four jokers is used to start the game for 3-4 players, with one new deck each added for additional players. The objective of the game is to win by laying down all your card contracts specific to the round being played. There are four rounds in Regular Kalooki - “333”, “334”, “344”, “444”. A "THREE" is a set of three or more cards of the same rank, such as 5-5-5 or K-K-K-K-K. The suits of the cards do not matter and duplicates can be included. A "four" is a run of four or more consecutive cards in the same suit, such as 8-9-10-J-Q. Aces can be high or low but can only be used at the end of a run, not in the interior, so A-2-3-4 and J-Q-K-A are valid, but K-A-2-3 is not. Jokers can be used as wildcards to substitute for any card in a “3” or “4”, with specific restrictions. Once someone wins the round, all the other players must total the penalty value of the cards they have in hand. The penalty value of the cards are Joker (50 points), Black Ace (15 points), King/Queen/Jack/Ten (10 points), 2 to 9 (face value), Red Ace (1 point). Full rules and regulations are available in the app. Finally we can enjoy Kalooki on Mobile!
