What Ends a Hand

Identify win and draw endings.

Concept

Every hand ends with a win or a draw.

A hand ends in one of two ways. Someone wins, either by self-draw or by claiming another player’s discard, or the live wall runs out and nobody wins.

After a win, the hand is verified and scored. After a draw, players move to the next hand according to the round rules.
