Joker in a run

A player may replace a Joker in a run by playing the exact natural card represented by that Joker. The released Joker must be used in a legal meld during the same active turn before firing.

02 · GUIDE

Joker in an equal-rank set

Three natural eights plus a Joker form a complete four-card set. The Joker may be reclaimed only by playing the exact missing suit. Adding a fifth eight is not legal.
