Rules

Invalid Show vs Valid Show

Show means declare. Valid show: you win, 0 points. Invalid show: you pay a dump-sized penalty. The cards do not care that you 'almost' had it.

ValidTwo sequences, one pure, rest grouped.
InvalidAnything else, including leftovers.
CostNear a full dump.

Almost does not count

A pure sequence plus two sets plus one loose 5 is invalid. Park the 5 or do not tap.

The app is the referee

Do not argue a 'house' layout. If the groups widget rejects it, take the penalty and read the checklist.

Drop vs invalid

If you are unsure, middle drop can be cheaper than testing the button. Pride is not a ledger.
