1.1.3 There are total seven types of deals that you can make in a game.

1.1.3.3 Triplet
Triplet is a deal with three cards which have the same number of pips.
There is an exception with triple “A”s which are considered as a bomb rather than a triplet since there are only three “A”s in a game.

As 1.1.3.3 says, Triple “A”s are considered as a special bomb.

1.1.3.6 Straight
Straight is a deal with five or more cards which have the consecutive number of pips. For example, “3, 4, 5, 6, 7” is a straight, and “9, 10, J, Q, K” is another straight.
The cards in a straight can be in either the same suit or different suits.

1.1.3.7 Pair straight
Pair straight is a deal very similar to a straight except that it is made up of three or more pairs which have the consecutive number of pips.

1.2.1 Single
Rank for singles in ascending is “3”, “4”, “5”, “6”, “7”, “8”, “9”, “10”, “J”, “Q”, “K”, “A”, “2”.
Singles with different suits but same number of pips are at the same rank.

Pairs with different suits but same number of pips are at the same rank.

1.2.5 Full house
Rank for full houses is decided by the triplet that the full house has, and it doesn’t matter what pair it has.

1.2.6 Straight
Rank for straight is based on the straights having the same number of cards.
Two straights which have different number of cards can’t be compared.
Straights with only one suit of cards are at the higher rank than any one with different suit of cards.
Rank for straights is decided by the ranking of the card with the highest rank in the straight.
Straights with different suits of cards have the same rank if the cards' rankings with the highest rank in the two straights are the same.
Rank for straights with only one suit of cards in ascending is diamonds(♦), clubs(♣), hearts(♥) and spades(♠) if the cards' rankings with the highest rank in the two straights are the same.
"2" does not join any straight and "A" can only follow "K" in a straight, so the longest straight can be “3, …, J, Q, K, A” with total 12 cards.

1.2.7 Pair straight
Rank for pair straights is based on the pair straights having the same number of pairs of cards.
Two pair straights which have different number of pairs can’t be compared.
Rank for pair straights is decided by the ranking of the pair with the highest rank in the pair straight.
