Keeping an eye on the point values of the cards in your hand & discarding high-value cards early in the game to lower your point total are two efficient ways to maximize your point total. Jokers can be strategically used to further lower your point total by completing sets and runssataa with high-value cards, so it's important to keep that in mind as well. Observing how your rivals are playing and modifying your game plan appropriately is another technique to increase your point total and win the match. You can learn a lot about their card combinations by watching which cards they are keeping in the discard pile & which ones they are discarding, and you can then modify your approach accordingly. To increase your chances of winning, you should also take into account how your opponents are using jokers and modify your strategy accordingly.
