Meld

In card games, a Meld is set of matching cards, typically three or more, that earn a player points and/or allows him to deplete his hand. Melds typically come in sequences of ascending cards belonging to the same suit (8♠ 9♠ 10♠) or groups of cards of identical rank (8♠ 8♣ 8♥).

Melding is typical in games of the Rummy family[?]. such as Canasta and Gin.
