Rules

Objective

At the end of each round, each player scores points equal to the sum of the cards in their hand, with face cards counting as 10 and jokers as zero. The game's objective is for a player to have 7 points or fewer at the end of the game.

In some variants the objective is to score points fewer than 5, or fewer than the number of cards dealt.

Dealing the cards

Each player is dealt 5 cards. The rest are placed in a stack face down (the deck) in the center of all the players.

The game is divided into rounds, and score is kept between rounds. The objective is to achieve the lowest score.

A turn

Yaniv Card Game Rules

Every player in his turn must either call 'Yaniv', ending the round or:

  1. Throw a card or several cards and
  2. Pick up a card after throwing a card or cards, and either:
  3. Take a card from deck
  4. Take a card from the free stack which is included in the last thrown card series (explained later).
  5. A player must first throw a card and only then pick up a card. A player can throw more than one card by choosing one of the following cases:

    • If he has a rising series of at least three cards with identical suit, he can throw the entire series instead of just one card. In series aces are always low: A-2-3 is a valid series but Q-K-A is not. A joker can be used as a substitute for any card to complete a series.
    • If he has a set of two or more cards with the same face, he can throw all of them instead of just one.

    In both cases, the player takes only one card - this is the way to lower the number of cards he holds. The next player can only pick up the first or last card of a set or series (if a player dropped 5, 6, 7, 8, the next player can pick up either 5 or 8). An exception is when one of the cards in a series is a joker - in this case if the next player has the exact card the joker stands for, the player can take the joker and throw that card instead.

    Only after taking the card, the card(s) thrown are put on the free stack.

    The round progresses amongst all players clockwise, until a player calls 'Yaniv'. A player can only call 'Yaniv' (but he does not need to) if the sum of his cards is equal to or less than 7. When 'Yaniv' is called, all players reveal their hands. The player with the lowest sum is the round winner, and is awarded zero points. If there is another player with a sum equal to or lower than the sum of the cards of the player who called Yaniv, that player declares 'Assaf' and is the round winner. If more than one player can call Assaf, the player with the lowest sum is the round winner, or all players with the same lowest sum are the round winners (but never the player who declared 'Yaniv'). If the player who declared 'Yaniv' is not the winner because his hand is beaten by another player, the total amount of his points is the sum of the cards in his hand, plus thirty for one player, or twenty for each player who beats him/her.

    If the drawing deck is empty and no one has yet called 'Yaniv', then all cards of the free stack excluding the last player's drop are shuffled and placed face down as a new deck.

    Scoring

    • All round winners get zero points.
    • The rest of the players get the sum of the cards as their score.
    • If 'Assaf' was called by one player then the player who called 'Yaniv' receives an extra 30 points in addition to his usual score. If more than one player declared 'Assaf', the player who called 'Yaniv' receives an extra 20 points for each player who called 'Assaf'.
    • Some players like to play with the rule that if a player reaches a total score which is a multiple of 50, 50 points are reduced from his score . This rule creates a tactical opportunity for victory by trying to be caught with a high hand while another player calls 'Yaniv'. Another option is to call 'Yaniv' yourself, anticipating an 'Assaf', in order to get to a multiple of 50.

    Winning

    There are two variations:

    • A certain limit is set. Whenever a player crosses that limit, the game ends and the victor is the one with the smallest score.
    • A certain limit is set. Whenever a player crosses that limit, he quits the game. The victor is the last remaining player.

    The common limit is 200.

    Variations in Scoring

    It is common practice in Yaniv to cut a player's score in half if they hit a target number such as 50 or 100. [1]

Yaniv, as it is known in Israel, or Jhyap or Dhumbal, as it is known in Nepal, is a rummy-type card game for two to five players. Yaniv shares a common goal with Gin Rummy: each player is trying to reduce their unmatched cards’ point total below a certain threshold, whereupon they can end the game. In Yaniv, however, melds are discarded instead of held in the hand, meaning certain cards can be drawn from the discard pile and used over and over.

The game most likely originated in Nepal as Jhyap. Somehow, it spread from there to Israel, where it has enjoyed a period of popularity, especially among younger players, for the past several years.

Object of Yaniv

The object of Yaniv is to discard melds and be the first to call “Yaniv”, hopefully ensuring that the total of your unmatched cards is lower than that of your opponent.

Setup

Yaniv is played with a 54-card deck formed by augmenting a deck of Denexa 100% Plastic Playing Cards with two jokers. If you are playing with four or more players, you may wish to use a 108-card double deck to avoid frequent shuffling. You’ll also need something to keep score with—pencil and paper will do the job wonderfully.

Shuffle and deal five cards to each player. Place the stub in the center of the table to form the stock. Turn over the top card of the stock; this is the first card in the discard pile.

Game play

In Yaniv, each of the face cards is worth ten points. Aces are worth one point, and are always low. All other cards are worth their face value. Jokers are worth zero.

Play of the hand

The player to the left of the dealer goes first. Unlike most rummy games, in Yaniv, the first thing a player does is discard. A player may discard a single card, like they do in typical rummy games. However, they may also discard a set of two or more cards of the same rank. They can also discard a run of three or more cards of the same suit in sequence (e.g. 8-9-10-J♦). A player may only make one discard per turn. They can’t discard, say, a set then a run, or two runs, or two different sets.

In sequences, cards rank in their usual order, with aces always low. Q-K-A is not a valid combination! Also, jokers may be used as wilds to substitute for any card in a sequence (but not in a set).

It is important to keep the cards discarded in the proper order. Runs must always be kept in numerical order. Sets may be played in any order the player chooses.

After discarding, the player draws. The player may draw one card from the stock, or they may choose to take either the first or the last card that the previous player discarded. Thus, if the previous player discarded 8-9-10-J♦, the player may only draw the 8 or the jack, not the 9 or 10. This is where some strategy in discarding can be used—by carefully choosing the order they discard the cards in, a player can deny access to certain cards to the player after them!

Going out

As the game goes on, players gradually reduce the count of their deadwood (the cards left in their hand). When a player’s deadwood reaches five or fewer points, they may call “Yaniv!” to go out. This must happen at the beginning of their turn, before they discard.

All players then turn their cards face up. If the player has the lowest point total, they score zero for the hand, and all other players score the total value of the cards left in their hand. If another player has a lower point total than the player that called “Yaniv”, every player scores the value of the cards left in their hand. The player that called “Yaniv” also scores a 30-point penalty.

At the end of a hand, if a player has a score of exactly 200 points, their score resets to 100 points. Likewise, if a player ends a hand with exactly 100 points, their score is reduced to 50 points.

Ending the game

The deal passes to the left and another hand is dealt. This continues for as many hands as necessary. When a player’s score exceeds 200 points, they are out of the game and are not dealt into later hands. The last player remaining in the game is the winner.
