A parlor or casino card game for a plurality of players incorporates each player's placing an ante into a pot, dealing a hand to each player, participating in a round of betting, and then playing hands by collecting combinations of standard playing cards to form melds which may be laid down. Cards are added to a hand by drawing from a deck or picking up a most recent discard, and cards are eliminated from a hand by a discard which completes each player's turn. The game ends when one player has formed and laid down melds comprising all the cards in the hand except for a single card which is then discarded. Each player can use an imaginary card having any suit or value to complete certain melds. The first player to lay down all of the cards in a hand wins the game and may take the pot.
