How to play Yaniv in 30 seconds

  1. Everyone gets 5 cards. The goal: the lowest hand total.
  2. On your turn, drop one card, a set of the same rank, or a run of 3+ in the same suit, then draw from the deck or the previous player's discard.
  3. When your hand is 7 points or less, call “Yaniv!”. Lowest hand scores 0.
  4. If someone has the same or less, it's “Assaf!” and the caller gets +30.
