I am curious concerning the card sport Yaniv (Wikipedia reference, Pagat reference). I’ve performed this sport a number of instances, however I realized it from a written description moderately than in actual life, so I’ve ended up with some home guidelines which can be a bizarre mishmash of frequent Rummy guidelines and the precise guidelines.
Particularly, I’m within the particulars of taking a card from the earlier meld in Yaniv.
You might be solely allowed to knock/name Yaniv initially of your flip and provided that the purpose complete is 5 or fewer. The sport instantly ends while you do that and a winner is decided. Let’s name a flip and not using a Yaniv name an “strange flip”.
The construction of an strange flip is that this:
- Throw a single card, or a meld. A meld is a Rummy meld or a pair.
- Take a card, both from the inventory or from the ends of the earlier meld.
Each Pagat and Wikipedia are very clear that drawing occurs after discarding a meld. This can be a giant mechanical distinction from Rummy, a sport which is in any other case much like Yaniv.
Anyway, I’m concerned about whether or not the cardboard taken in step 2 can be utilized for the meld in step 1.
For instance.
Suppose participant B holds ST, SJ in hand.
Participant A performs S7, S8, S9.
Participant B want to take the S9 to be able to full the meld S9, ST, SJ. Is participant B allowed to take the S9 and play S9, ST, SJ as their flip?
