Players try to form melds. A meld consists of three or four cards of the same rank (e.g., three 6s), or in sequence (3, 4, 5) (sequences are called "ropes" or "stringers"). All the cards in a rope must be the same suit, but rank melds require either three cards of the same suit or three different suits. The exception for rank melds is Aces and Kings ("non-comoquers") any three of which can form a meld (e.g. two Aces of Hearts and an Ace of Diamonds).
