Yaniv
Shed sets and runs to get your hand down to seven or less, then call Yaniv. Just don’t get caught. 2–6 players.
How to play Yaniv
- 1Everyone gets five cards, and the aim is a low hand. Aces count 1, number cards their number, picture cards 10 and jokers nothing.
- 2On your turn, put down one card, two or more cards of the same rank, or a run of three or more in one suit (jokers fill any gap). Then pick up one card: the top of the stock, or one of the cards the player before you put down (any card of a set, or an end card of a run).
- 3When your hand adds up to 7 or less, you may call Yaniv at the start of your turn instead of playing. Everyone shows their hand. If yours is the lowest, you score nothing and everyone else adds their hand to their score.
- 4If anyone matches or beats your total, that's Assaf: they score nothing, and you add your hand plus 30. Everyone else adds their hand as usual.
- 5Land exactly on 50 or 100 and your score is cut in half. Go over 100 and you're out. The last player still in wins.
