 Double Deck Pinochle Primer
If the bid winners meld plus scoring cards are less than the bid, the amount of the bid is deducted from their score at the end of that hand, otherwise the bidding team gets the amount of the meld plus the score from gameplay added to their score.
Once meld has been counted the players put their exposed meld cards back into their hands and the play commences.
In a meld bid the player overcalls the last bid by one point for each ten points of meld in his hand and thus gives his partner a fair estimate of how much meld he or she holds.

In card games, a meld is set of matching cards, typically three or more, that earn a player points and/or allows him to deplete his hand.
Melding is typical in games of the Rummy family, such as Canasta and Gin.
The derivation of meld as a term is from the German language melden, meaning to announce.

When a player lays down the meld shown on one of the Target cards, they win that Target card, and score the points.

What's more, players can (and do!) win 2 or more Target cards on a single play by laying down groups of Playing cards which make the melds on 2 or more Target cards.

 Funagain Games: Mystery Rummy Case No. 4: Al Capone and the Chicago Underworld
The basic principles of rummy are intact: melds (sets of 3 or more cards), lay-offs (cards that match your opponents melds that you may lay down) and picking up discards.
The gameplay here is almost exactly the same as all three of the previous games in the series--collect three matching cards and you can play them in front of you as a meld, additional cards that match it can be played by any player.

 Rules of Card Games: 500 Rum
When ending the game, the player is allowed leave the discard pile in a state where some of the cards in it could be melded, and the other players can no longer claim these cards, because play stops as soon as a player has got rid of all the cards in their hand.
500 Rum is a variation of rummy in which points are scored for cards melded, and lost for unmelded cards remaining in a player's hand when someone goes out.
As in basic rummy, a meld is a combination of cards from your hand which you place face up on the table, where it stays until the end of a hand.

 Funagain Games: Wyatt Earp
The rules state that the Photo cards are played on your turn as your single Sheriff card, but Mike Fitzgerald has advised that the preferred way to play the game is to allow the photo to be played out of turn as soon as the initial meld is laid if desired.
The play of the game is fluid and there are difficult decisions to be made about how to play your cards, when to meld, and what to discard.
Wyatt Earp, while not formally a part of the Mystery Rummy series, is clearly a descendent of this line and its combination of game play, strength with any of 2, 3, or 4 players, and Alea's high quality production make this one a sure winner.

 Wyatt Earp (Yeehaw!)
Two important sheriff cards are hideouts, which remove one player's meld (of one outlaw) from the final calculation, and Wyatt Earp, cancels a hideout card or lets a player go digging through the discard pile.
Some of these sheriff cards require 'a shot', which means that for the card to work, you have to draw and discard the top card from the deck.
Some sheriff cards (photos) are outlaw specific, while others require you to have at least one outlaw card played (to indicate which suit you are playing the sheriff card for).

 Rules of Card Games: Manipulation Rummy
You can also meld by manipulating existing combinations on the table, rearranging the cards in any way you like, provided that you add at least one new card to the table from your hand, and you leave all the cards on the table arranged into valid combinations.
A general problem with manipulation rummy games is that laying down sets and runs helps the other players by giving them extra manipulation possibilities.
Manipulation is almost the same game as Shanghai, described above.

The best game exception to the above rule is when you need the upcard to convert 2 matching cards into a meld of 3 or more thus eliminating 3 pieces of deadwood including the upcard.
Also, if you take upcard -–you are taking cards of no use to your online opponent, but drawing from deck you may be preventing him/her going for a gin hand.
It is generally better to draw a deck card than an upcard because less of your hand will be known to your online opponent.
