How to Play Rummy

The goal is to arrange all 13 cards in your hand into valid sequences and/or sets. A valid declaration must include at least one pure sequence (a sequence formed without a Joker).

Once you have a valid hand, you can declare to win the game.

Sequence:

A sequence is three or more consecutive cards of the same suit. Example: 4♣, 5♣, 6♣. Sequences can be pure or impure (using a Joker).

Set:

A set consists of three or four cards of the same rank but different suits. Example: 7♦, 7♣, 7♥.

Jokers can substitute for any card to form sequences or sets, but they cannot form a pure sequence.

There are two types of Jokers: Wild Joker (a randomly selected card from the deck) and Printed Joker.

Players draw and discard cards in turns, aiming to create valid combinations while minimizing points in hand.

The game ends when a player makes a valid declaration.

Points Rummy is a quick variant where each point carries a pre-decided monetary value. Players compete to score the lowest points, and the winner earns the sum of points lost by others.

Card values:

Face cards (K, Q, J, A) are worth 10 points each, numeric cards carry their face value, and Jokers are worth zero points.

Maximum points:

The maximum penalty for an invalid declaration is 80 points.

Winning formula:

Winner’s earnings = (Sum of opponents’ points) x (Point value).

Focus on forming a pure sequence early to reduce your hand's penalty risk.

Discard high-point cards that are unlikely to form combinations.

In Pool Rummy, players are eliminated upon exceeding a pre-decided score limit (101 or 201 points). The last remaining player wins the prize pool.

Score calculation:

Points are calculated based on the ungrouped cards in hand at the end of each round.

Elimination rule:

Players exceeding the set score limit (e.g., 101 or 201) are eliminated from the game.

Play conservatively in the initial rounds to avoid accumulating high points.

Observe opponents’ discard patterns to anticipate their strategies.

Deals Rummy is played over a fixed number of deals. Each player starts with an equal number of chips, and the player with the most chips at the end wins.

The winner earns chips equal to the sum of points lost by opponents, multiplied by the pre-decided chip value.

At the end of all deals, the player with the highest chip count is declared the winner.

Focus on consistent scoring across all deals to maintain a lead.

Analyze chip standings to decide when to play aggressively or defensively.

Pay attention to the cards your opponents pick and discard to predict their combinations.

Discard high-value cards early unless they can form sequences or sets.

Reserve Jokers for completing sets or sequences that are harder to form.

A declaration must include at least one pure sequence (e.g., 2♥, 3♥, 4♥).

Declaring without valid combinations results in the maximum penalty points (e.g., 80 in Points Rummy).
