Find your footing in Declaration Practice

For a calm first round, focus on one decision. Check whether a complete 13-card hand can satisfy every declaration requirement. The same rule applies on a phone and on a computer. Take a moment to read the table. Start a 10-question session. Read the visible rule label and wild rank, if shown. Use another round to revisit a decision.

500 stored and rule-checked questions; ten questions per session. Questions can repeat across sessions. Practice is solo, with no rating, cash reward or account.

An idea for your next attempt

Begin with the objective. All cards need a non-overlapping grouping, at least two sequences and at least one pure sequence. Return to the explanation when a decision is unclear.

What you need to achieve

Check whether a complete 13-card hand can satisfy every declaration requirement. Return to the explanation when a decision is unclear. Use the rule sheet as a reference.

From the start of a round

  1. Start a 10-question session. Read the visible rule label and wild rank, if shown.
  2. All cards need a non-overlapping grouping, at least two sequences and at least one pure sequence.
  3. Study the complete hand before answering. Choose Valid or Not valid.
  4. Read the explanation after submitting. Each question accepts one submitted answer.
  5. Continue to the tenth question for a session score; start another session for a new selection.

Getting comfortable with the controls

Tap the answer buttons or selected card; the deadwood exercise uses a numeric input. Next question appears after an answer. The same rule applies on a phone and on a computer. Keep the active rule in mind.

Work through an example

Example hand: A♥ A♠ Q♣ Q♦ Joker 6♠ Q♥ 6♦ 8♦ 7♦ 7♠ A♣ Q♠. Wild rank 3. All thirteen cards can be split into legal non-overlapping melds, including two sequences and a pure sequence. Use another round to revisit a decision.

A useful caution

Use the rule sheet as a reference. Do not judge only the best three cards; every remaining card matters. Check the relevant controls before continuing.

Can you give an example?

One pure run, another joker-assisted run and two complete sets can cover a valid 13-card hand. Take a moment to read the table. Check the relevant controls before continuing.

How many questions are available?

Can I change a submitted answer?

Will I always see new cards?

No. The bank is finite, so another session may include a previously played question. Before making a move, check the cards in view. Return to the explanation when a decision is unclear.

What does the score measure?

The score is the number of correct answers in this ten-question session. It is not a skill certificate or a prediction of match results. Use the rule sheet as a reference. Take the next action only when the current step is clear.
