Kalooki is the most played cards game in the UK Islands. The game is easy to learn, fun to play and benefits to the good online players. One of the variants is Kalooki 40. The Kaluki 40 winner is the player who disposed all his cards first. Kalooki 41 is another version of Kalooki.

In Kalooki 40, the initial meld has at least a combined value of 40. If a player cannot lay down a meld with this value, he cannot place down melds and build on the table. After a player has placed the initial meld on the table, he can place melds of any value and build on the existing melds. The value of the face cards is 10, although the Ace is now worth 11 points and the Joker only 15 points.

Kalooki is played with two decks of playing cards with the Jokers (108 cards), dealing thirteen cards to each player. Left over cards, face down, make the Stock.

The top card is turned face up, and placed to the side of the Stock to begin the Discard Pile. The purpose is to form combinations of Sequence and Set, with sufficient points to open and lay these melds onto the table, then to dispose of all the remaining cards so as to close the round by discarding the last one, to force the opponent to pay the value of the cards still in his custody.
