Meld

A Meld is the move where the player unveils his series in front of the other players.

In the Kalooki game the player has to Meld only when the sum of his series is 51 and up.

In the game of Gin and Oklahoma Gin a player Melds only when he wishes to Knock or Gin.

This move has many meanings, to the other players the option is given to see which cards the Melding player had, so they can fit their playing strategy during the rest of the game.
