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.
