Yaniv
The elegant Israeli card classic — knock when your hand drops below seven.
- 01
Draw and discard.
Each turn you discard one or more matching cards, then draw one. Sets, runs, and singles are all fair game.
- 02
Knock when low.
When your hand sums to 7 or less, you can knock — calling "Yaniv!" and ending the round.
- 03
Lowest hand wins.
If you really had the lowest hand, you score zero. If someone tied or beat you, you get burned with their hand value plus a penalty.
