Concan
Ten in a run and four alike: Concan!
Concan is the rummy of Egypt and the Levant, played like Hand with two decks and two jokers. Its big moment is the Concan itself: a run of 10 and a set of 4 (or a run of 11 and a set of 3) laid down at once. It doubles every penalty, and in the last round it can win the whole game.

How to play
- 1
Concan: two decks with 2 jokers, 14 cards each (the first player 15). Meld runs and sets to empty your hand; the lowest total after 5 rounds wins.
- 2
Open with melds worth 51+ in one turn; after that, meld and lay off on any meld freely.
- 3
Draw, or take the last discard — it must go into a new meld (or your opening) this turn.
- 4
One joker per meld. A run’s joker comes back for its exact card; a set’s only for both missing suits.
- 5
Concan: a run of 10 + a set of 4, or a run of 11 + a set of 3, laid at once — it always doubles. In the last round you may commit to Concan: take discards freely, lay down nothing else; completing it wins the game outright.
