If on the other hand, your declaration was a false alarm, you lose and the other player wins. When the number of players are more than 2, a wrong declaration will lead to the loss of 80 points and exemption from the rest of the game as the remaining players continue to battle for the first to have the required cards to declare a win. When there is a valid win and the players are more than 2, their points are calculated to rank them.

It is worthy of note that a set cannot be more than 4 cards, since there are only 4 different types of suits in a card deck. You cannot because 2 card decks are being used, have the same card suit in a set. A set must consist of a maximum of 1 heart suit, I club suit, 1 spade suit and 1 diamond suit. Thus, a set can only be either 3 or 4 cards; no more, no less.
During the course of the game, each player has the opportunity to change a card that differs the most from his set of cards, with the hope of getting a card that will be able to form a set or sequence with the game that he is holding.
Difference Between Pure and Impure Sequence

For example, 2, 3, 4, 5, all with the heart suit. The cards have to be a minimum of 3 cards. It can be more than 3 cards. For the Impure suit, you could use a wild card or joker to make up for a missing sequential number. For example, if a particular card type was selected as a joker, you can use it to replace any number. If number 8 with heart suit was selected to be a wild joker and you have a cards of 2, 3 and 5, all with diamondsuit, you can use the 8 to replace the 4. This will however, be an impure sequence.
