Draw from the stock or take the top discard, then throw one.

The rules
What the maal is worth.
Once the tiplu is turned, its rank in every suit, the cards just above and below it in its suit, and the printed jokers are all wild.

FAQ
Good questions, asked.
How do you play Marriage?
Two to five players get 21 cards each from three packs. On your turn you draw and throw one card, building sets of three. Show three pure sets to open and see the tiplu; go down by laying all 21 in sets, at least three of them pure. Maal and marriages then settle between players.
What is maal?
Cards worth points once the tiplu is turned: the tiplu's rank, the poplu and jhiplu (one above and one below in its suit), the alter (same rank, the other suit of the same colour) and the printed jokers. The jhiplu, tiplu and poplu together are a marriage.
Can we play our own house rules?
Yes. Whoever opens a private room, a practice table or a Nearby table picks the rules for it, such as whether maal counts for players who never opened.
Can it keep score for a game with real cards?
Yes. The scorekeeper records Call Break and Marriage rounds played with a real deck, with your group's own rules, and saves every round as you tap.
Is it real money?
No. Juwa Adda uses virtual chips only. Chips have no cash value, can never be cashed out, and never move between players.
