⚠️ Important: At least one pure sequence is mandatory for a valid declaration.
Impure Sequence
An impure sequence is a group of 3 or more consecutive cards of the same suit, but it can include a joker.
Examples of Impure Sequences:
- 5♦ Joker 7♦ (Joker replaces 6♦)

A set is a group of 3 or 4 cards of the same rank but different suits. Sets can include jokers.
Examples of Sets:
