I claim:

1. A method of playing a game whereby players pick, discard, and swap tiles, in attempt to be the first player whose hand replicates a sequence on identical game cards using multi-colors, comprising the steps of: a. said game is played whereby two or more players pick a designated number of tiles, b. a tile exchange is performed by exchanging 3 unwanted tiles, until a complete exchange cycle is completed, c. tiles are picked and discarded in clockwise order with opportunity for players to call needed tiles to complete sets within the sequence, d. jokers are wild and can be used to represent any symbol, and may be claimed by any player who has the tile of said Joker's assigned symbol, e. said game continues until any player's hand matches a sequence on the game card, and each set within the replicated sequence is a different color, g. if tile receptacle is empty then said game is a draw, h. said game is played with all players using identical game cards.

2. A variation of game design and game parts shall still be considered method of playing said game, such as; a. additional game cards with new sequences, b. number of tiles used to play said game may change, c. tile colors may change, d. tile numbers, letters, and pictorial symbols may change, e. tile rack, tile, and tile receptacle may be made of any material and may vary in color, size, shape and design, f. a computer software version may be derived from physical game, g. an electronic version may be derived from physical game.
