The object is to be the first to meld all 10 cards in your hand, in addition to the final card drawn. Pan uses 8 decks with one set of spades removed and all the 8's, 9's and 10's removed, for a total of 310 cards. In descending order, the cards rank K, Q, J, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, A. The J and 7 are sequential and play goes counterclockwise.

The Start: After all players post collection, the hand will be dealt. Each player that posted will receive 10 cards. At this point they have the option of keeping their hand and playing, or folding their hand and sitting out the current hand.

The Play: Each player in turn takes the top card of either the discard pile or the stock. A player may take from the discard pile only if the card was drawn from the stock by the preceding player, and can be immediately melded with the cards in the taker's hand. When a player draws from the stock, he must meld the card or discard it.

After drawing and before discarding, a player may meld as many sets as he holds or add to his existing melds. A player must drag a drawn card to his meld zone before any cards from his hand can be added to the meld zone.

If a player uses a drawn card to build one or more melds, he must end his turn by discarding a single card from his hand. This is done by dragging the desired card from his hand to the discard pile. If he has no remaining cards in his hand to discard and has all 11 cards in valid melds, the hand is finished.

Going Out: When a player shows 11 cards in melds (10 cards plus his final draw card), he collects the value of all his conditions, plus two chips from each player and collects the tops pot.

Next Hand: After the pot has been won, all the players put in chips for the next hand. The winner of the previous hand goes first.
