Pan Poker

A variation of the game of Corquian, a Game of Mexican origin which was a predecessor to the game of rummy.

• The game can be played by up to 7 players and is played with 8 decks of cards which have the 8's, 9's, and 10's removed.
• Each player is dealt 10 cards having special assigned values. Each player, in turn, draws either a card from the top of the remaining deck or from the top of an adjacent discard pile.
• After selecting a card and making whatever melds are possible, a player places a card on the top of the discard pile.
• This sequence of play continues until one player goes out with a total meld of 11 cards including the card just drawn.
