A three-round learning exercise
- Round 1: name the category of each three-card example in the chart.
- Round 2: compare a pair with a sequence, then a colour with a pure sequence.
- Round 3: compare two hands in the same category using the mode’s tie-breaking rules.
These are practice exercises for understanding the rules; outcomes of future deals remain uncertain.
