What Is This About?

A set is usually three or four cards of one rank from different suits.

Example: 9—9—9— Adding a second 9—from the second deck can make four of a kind when rules allow.

Sets never replace the mandatory pure sequence.

How Does It Work?

Lock pure sequence first, then ask whether leftover pairs want a third rank-mate.

Use jokers to finish a set only after the pure sequence is safe.

Check suit uniqueness —duplicate suits in a three-card set are illegal.

Rules Explained

Same suit twice in a three-card set is invalid on standard Indian rules.
