Each player usually starts the game with a certain number of cards, usually seven or ten, depending on the variant being played. The top card is positioned face-up to begin tteen patti joinhe discard pile, and the remaining cards form a draw pile. In order to strengthen their hands by creating legitimate combinations, players alternately draw from the draw pile or the discard pile. When one player successfully melds every card in their deck, the other players reveal their hands and determine their scores using the unmelded cards.
