Tonk
Fast rummy: drop when your hand is low, or tonk out. 2–4 players.
Also known as Tunk.
How to play Tonk
- 1Everyone gets five cards. Cards count their number, aces 1 and picture cards 10. If you're dealt 49 or 50, that's a tonk: you win the hand on the spot (2 points).
- 2At the start of your turn you may drop: everyone shows their hand. If yours is the lowest, you win 1 point. If anyone ties or beats you, you're caught and the lowest hand wins 2 points instead.
- 3Otherwise draw from the stock or take the top discard. Then you may spread (lay down a set of three or four of a rank, or a run of three or more in a suit, aces low) and hit any player's spread with cards that extend it. End by discarding one card.
- 4If someone hits one of your spreads, you can't drop on your next turn.
- 5Play out every card in your hand and you win 2 points. If the stock runs out, the lowest hand wins 1 point.
- 6First to 10 points wins.
