All 11 steps must be completed to win – if more than one player completes the 11 steps during the hand, the lowest-scoring hand wins.For example, if a player completes a step and then goes out and you did not, then you will remain on the same step and they will move forward. Each Step must be made by a player during a hand to advance to the next step.If a player “melds” and completes a step they will then be playing to “Go Out.” This ends the hand.Note: A player MUST have a discard at the end of their turn. Then they discard a card from their hand.The player may then “meld” if they have the appropriate cards for the step they are on.A player’s turn begins by drawing the top card from the deck or the discard pile.(This is how we play as taught by my Pop Pop, but some versions have you draw 13) Deal 11 cards to each person for each hand.5-6 players – 3 standard playing card decks with 6 jokers.4 players – 2 standard playing card decks with 4 jokers.I’m there.) Frustration Rummy is a rummy-style card game where players compete to complete different steps (often called contracts) that each involves a different combination of cards. We spend a lot of time playing Frustration Rummy as a family, especially on family vacations. We talk a lot about flashy video games and freshly released board games on EFG, but today I want to take a moment to share the instructions for one of my family’s absolute favorite card games.
