You can call Carramba only when your hand totals 7 or less. Strictly lowest hand = 0 points. Tie or higher hand = hand value + 30.

The default maximum is 100 and the default reset is 50. A score below the maximum stays. An exact maximum becomes the reset score. A score above the maximum eliminates the player. Private games, casual games, and bot practice do not change your rating. Ranked games do.
