A practical guide to Declaration Practice

Treat this as a chance to practise one rule. Check whether a complete 13-card hand can satisfy every declaration requirement. Use another round to revisit a decision. A clear plan starts with the current position. Start a 10-question session. Read the visible rule label and wild rank, if shown. Take the next action only when the current step is clear.

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.

Practice with a purpose

Work at your own pace. All cards need a non-overlapping grouping, at least two sequences and at least one pure sequence. Use another round to revisit a decision.

The objective of a round

Check whether a complete 13-card hand can satisfy every declaration requirement. The same rule applies on a phone and on a computer. Work at your own pace.

The steps to play

  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.

How to use the controls

Tap the answer buttons or selected card; the deadwood exercise uses a numeric input. Next question appears after an answer. Take the next action only when the current step is clear. Before making a move, check the cards in view.

Put the rules into context

Example hand: 5♦ 7♠ 2♥ 3♥ 8♣ A♥ Q♣ 2♦ Q♥ 2♦ 6♣ 5♣ 8♥. Wild rank 10. No full grouping meets the two-sequence and pure-sequence requirement. The penalty for this hand is 63 points. The same rule applies on a phone and on a computer.

Watch out for this

Treat this as a chance to practise one rule. Do not judge only the best three cards; every remaining card matters. Return to the explanation when a decision is unclear.

One pure run, another joker-assisted run and two complete sets can cover a valid 13-card hand. Keep the active rule in mind. Return to the explanation when a decision is unclear.
