Gamers need to become adept at determining which cards, given their current hand and possible future melds, to keep and which to discard. Prioritizing cards that can contribute to multiple melds is one useful tactic. Holding onto a sequence oftinptti three cards in the same suit, for example, can be advantageous because it creates opportunities to extend the sequence or create new ones with additional cards drawn later. Players should also be aware of the cards that their opponents are discarding. An opponent may be attempting to create a similar combination if they discard a card that you need for a meld. In these situations, it might be prudent to keep that card for a little while longer as it might give you a tactical edge.
