How the examples are verified
Each example is calculated twice before the site is published: by the app's engine and by an independent implementation of the rules.
- the validity of each meld and the points laid down;
- the initial meld: threshold, pure run, joker value under the selected rules;
- end-of-round points: cards left in hand, going out in one turn, a player who never made an initial meld;
- the annotated round, played by the app's AI and then replayed action by action: the full deck, cards drawn, melds and scoring.
The figures for the other games are checked against the app's code. Rules specific to the app and variations between tables are identified as such. Found an error? Write to us through the contact page.
