• 10♥ J♥ Q♥ K♥ (Pure sequence with four cards without a joker)

Example of Invalid declaration:

• K♥ K♥ K♦ (There are two Ks of the same suit ♥ making it an invalid set.)
• 4♠ 4♥ 4♦ 4♠ Q♥ (this set has two 4 spades of the same suit. The wild card Q♥ as the fifth card is valid but having two 4♠ is makes it invalid).
• If an invalid declaration is made a player will lose the maximum points of the game.
