Indian Rummy

13 Cards Rummy

Follow these guidelines and advice to increase your 13 Card Indian Rummy experience. You can play in existing rooms or create your own by inviting friends and family.

    Rules to Play:
  1. It is played with 2 or up to 6 players.
  2. A 52-card deck is required to play a two-player rummy game.
  3. For additional players, use two or more packs of 53 cards each.
  4. Each player must be given 13 cards at random.
  5. The aim is to arrange all 13 cards in sequences and/or sets.

Note:

A 13 card rummy game allows for two sets. For starters, consecutive suited cards of 3 or 4 of a type (with no duplicate suits.)
Second, a winning hand must have two sequences, one of which must be "pure" (no jokers).

    Basics of the game:
  1. Indian Rummy is a card game that uses a two-pack of cards and two jokers (printed and wildcard). The following is a detailed description of the cards and their values.
  2. The cards are as follows: Ace, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, Jack, Queen and King.
  3. The Ace is the only card that can be a 1 or a face card, depending on the set.
  4. Card values are Ace – 10 points, face cards (K, Q, J) – 10.

    Valid Sets

  1. A guideline on playing card rummy should also clarify what defines a valid rummy set. So a user is a set of three or four cards of the same value but different suits. The set cannot contain two or more cards of the same suit. A set can have up to four cards and a joker can be used to complete it.
  2. Example 1
    King♣ King♦ King♥ King♠
    The cards used to form the set all have the same face value (the King). Also, each card in this collection has a distinct suit.
  3. Example 2
    Joker 7♦ 7♥ 7♠
    A joker has been used in place of the 7♣ to complete a valid set of four cards. You'll note that the set's cards all have the same face value but are divided into different suits.

    Invalid Sets

  1. It is called invalid if two or more cards from the same suit are used to make a set of three or four cards. Let's look at some examples of invalid sets:
  2. Example 1
    4♠ 4♦ 4♥ 4♠
    The card of the suit has been used twice, even though all of the cards in the set are both face value and printed value. This makes the set invalid, even though the cards are all of the same value.
  3. Example 2
    Queen♣ Queen♦ Queen♥ Queen♦
    All 13 cards have been used to form two valid sequences and two valid sets. Also, one Pure sequence So it's a valid declaration.
  4. Example 3
    3♥ 4♥ 5♥ 6♥ - Valid pure sequence 1
    Jack♣ 7♥ Jack♥ - Valid sequence 2 where 7♥ is the wild joker (Impure sequence)
    Queen♠ Queen♦ Queen♣ - Valid set 1
    9♠ 9♥ 9♣ - Valid set 2
    There are 2 different sequences, one pure and the other impure, which use the joker to complete. There are also two valid sets, ensuring a valid declaration.

    5. Invalid or wrong declarations

  5. An invalid declaration is one where at least one of the sequences and/or sets is invalid and/or does not contain the correct number of sequences and sets. Let’s look at some examples:
    Example 1 - Where 9♥ is the wild joker
    A♥ 2♥ 3♥ 4♥ - This is a pure sequence that can be used.
    5♣ 5♠ 9♥ - This set is valid with a wild joker in set 1.
    6♦ 6♠ 9♥ - Valid set 2 with wild joker
    7♦ 7♣ 7♥ - The valid set is 3.
  6. A set is a group of things that go together. There is only one set. There must be at least two valid sequences in order for a declaration to be true.
    Example 2-Where an invalid set is used
    A♣ 2♣ 3♣ 4♣ - Valid sequence 1
    5♣ 6♣ 7♣ - Valid sequence 2
    7♥ 7♦ 7♥ - Invalid set
    9♦ 9♠ 9♣ - Valid set 2
    You will notice that 7♥ has been used twice to form an invalid set.
