3. Joker cards carry zero points.
4. At the end of the game, a losing player's hand score is computed by adding points for cards that are not grouped as sets/sequences with the following exceptions. If the losing player has no pure sequence, all cards are counted. If the losing player does not have two sequences, but has a pure sequence, only the pure sequence is not counted.
