Table Game - Jungo

"Jungo" – is an exciting card game where your main goal is to be the first to get rid of all your cards! The path to success is to collect combinations, trying to make them stronger than your opponents' combinations.... Agree, it sounds simple! It is essentially so – but in fact, be prepared for an intellectual challenge, as you'll need to calculate your moves in advance to ensure the play goes smoothly and you can prevail. Choose any comfortable winning strategy and triumph! 

If we try to explain the rules of "Jungo" in general terms, it's all easy: each player on their turn can either play their cards or draw one from the deck. Important! Once you pick up and place cards in your hand, you can no longer change their order.
If you decide to play the cards, place them face up on the table. They must be of the same rank and arranged consecutively in your hand. If there is already a combination on the table, yours must be stronger. For this, it needs to satisfy one of two conditions: either to have a greater number of identical cards regardless of their rank, or the same number but with a higher rank. If you manage to beat someone else's combination, take the cards into your hand or discard them into the pile. If you decide to keep them, the cards you receive can be arranged in any way. The turn passes to the next player: now their task is to beat the last combination you laid out.
 
If the cards aren’t working, draw one from the deck. It can be placed anywhere in your hand, discarded, or if you want, played immediately by saying "Jungo!" and adding it to the already existing neighboring cards of the same rank. The game continues until one of the players gets rid of all their cards.

The winner is, in fact, the one who first discards all their cards! But since the game lasts quickly, you can agree on your own victory conditions – for example, increasing their number to two or three.
