*The essential aim of rummy is to arrange your cards into sets or sequences. The ancestry of rummy dates back centuries with many perspectives surrounding its most likely roots. Just as playing Canasta, rummy has its most likely origins in the game of Conquian. It is believed to have originated as early as the 1860s.
Two types of Jokers are available to a player: (i) Cut Joker and (ii) Paper joker
* If paper Joker appears as Cut Joker, then Aces become Joker in the gameValid Rummy Show
Valid Rummy Show requires players to arrange 13 cards in sequences (Life) and sets. A valid show consists of (1) Pure Life (2) Second Life (3) Cards left arranged as Life and/or Sets
*Pure Life: Pure Life will be Sequence without Joker
*Second Life: Second life can be sequence with Joker (Impure Life) or without Joker (Pure second Life)
*One or more Life/Set: Card either as Life or sets. Sets are a group of 3 or 4 cards with the same rank but different suits. Sets can contain Jokers.Score Calculation
*A valid show bears 0 points
*Game is finished when a player makes the first valid show on the table. All other players on the table need to submit their cards in the best possible groups to minimize score
*Player’s score is calculated based upon the arrangement and validity of groups of cards
*Jack, Queen, King and Ace bear 10 points each
*Maximum points a player can score on a game are 80
*Players initiated show if found wrong amounts to 80 points score, irrespective of cards at hand
Score Calculation examples
If the show does not include a Pure Life -> face value of all cards is added to calculate score. Maximum possible Score = 80.
If the show includes a Pure Life but no Second Life -> face value of remaining cards (if any), other than pure life cards, is added to calculate score.
If the show includes Pure Life and Second Life but no Set/Life -> face of remaining cards (if any), other than pure life and second life cards, is added to calculate score.
If the show includes Pure Life, Second Life and/or valid Life/Sets -> score is 0.Wrong Show
Example 1 A set can have a maximum of 4 cards. Each has to be of a different suit and the same face value. A deck can have a maximum of 4 suits. Adding a joker as a fifth card in a triplet considers joker as one of the 4 suits. In the example, the set has 4 cards and 1 joker - that is a wrong set.
Example 2 A set can have a maximum of 4 cards. Each has to be of a different suit and the same face value. A set cannot have more than 1 card from the same suit. In the example, the set has two cards from the same suit - that is a wrong set.
Example 3 A set can have a maximum of 4 cards. Each has to be of a different suit and the same face value. A set cannot have more than 4 cards as shown below. In the example, the set has 3 cards and 2 jokers - that is a wrong set.
Example 4 A valid show must have 1 life (sequence) without jokers and 1 life (sequence) with or without a joker. The example does not have any sequence - that is a wrong show.
Example 5 A valid show must have 1 life (sequence) without jokers and 1 life (sequence) with or without a joker. The example does not have any life - that is a wrong show. What is a Table?

Once the player has made these groups, he has to submit the cards in groups for validation. This action of submitting the cards is called Show. However, to have a successful Show, the player has to arrange the cards into Lives or Sets. This action of arranging the cards in groups is called Meld or Melding. What is a Group?
Grouping allows a player to group his cards based upon his choice. On Ace2Three table, when a player selects two or more cards, he is shown ’Group’ button.

New groups will be saved the moment grouping is enabled. What is Auto Play?
In case of player disconnection, Autoplay will be enabled for pool and stake table players, who have at least withdrawn a card from open or closed deck.

If the player’s saved group score is less than middle drop count, the game will keep in autoplay mode till some other player places a show.
If the player’s saved group score is more than middle drop count, the player will be considered for middle drop.
This is not applicable to Best of X games where the game always goes into auto play and the player does not have an option to drop/middle drop. If the game is in auto-play and a show is placed by some other player, disconnected player is awarded either middle drop or his saved groups score, whichever is less. For cases when you are disconnected after you discard a card and some other player places a show before it’s your turn again, autoplay will not be applied and your score will be decided upon your saved cards. If the player gets disconnected before he picks the first card, the player will be considered dropped and the game will not go into auto play.Ultimate Guide to Rummy (aka ’Rum’)
Rummy is one of the most popular classic card games in the world. Often referred to as ’basic rummy” or ’traditional rummy,” or just ’Rum,’ it’s easy to learn and play once you get the hang of it. Though it’s a simple game, playing rummy is exciting and there’s a decent amount of skill involved.How to Play Rummy: Rules & MorePlayers and Decks
Rummy is played with 2-6 players. It is played with a standard 52-card deck and aces are low.Snowbird Rummy RulesDealing
Players take turns dealing when playing a two-player game. When playing with three or more players, whose turn it is to deal rotates clockwise every round. The player who deals first is chosen at random and how many cards dealt to each player depends on the total number of players.
*2 players: 10 cards each
*3-4 players: 7 cards each
*5-6 players: 6 cards each
The dealer deals cards one by one then begins the discard pile by placing the following card face-up in the middle of the table. The dealer then places the rest of the deck face down next to it, forming the stock. Players then are permitted to look at their cards and sort them.Goal
The goal of Rummy is simple: get rid of all your cards first.
Players can rid their hand of cards in three ways: they can meld, lay off, and discard.
*To meld, a player takes multiple cards from his or her hand and places them face-up on the table. That combination of cards then stays there. Melding is the quickest way to get rid of cards.
*Sets (sometimes called groups or books) and runs (sometimes called sequences) are the two valid types of melds in Rummy.
*A set, book or group is 3 or 4 same-ranking cards.
*Example: 10 of spades, 10 of diamonds and 10 of hearts
*Example: 6 of clubs, 6 of spades, 6 of diamonds, and 6 of hearts
*A run or sequence is 3+ consecutive cards of a matching suit. Consecutive cards of different suits do not constitute a valid sequence.
*Example: 3 of spades, 4 of spades, and 5 of spades
*Example: 9 of hearts, 10 of hearts, Jack of hearts, and Queen of hearts.
*To lay off, add cards in your hand to already-existing melds.
*Example: To a set of a 10 of spades, 10 of diamonds and 10 of hearts, a player could add a 10 of clubs.
*Example: To a run of a 3 of spades, 4 of spades, and 5 of spades, a player could add a 2 of spades to the beginning or a 6 of spades to the end.
*However, players may not rearrange any melds as they lay off.
*Example: If a set of the 6 of clubs, 6 of spades, 6 of diamonds, and 6 of hearts and a run of the 3 of spades, 4 of spades, and 5 of spades are both on the table, a player couldn’t move the 6 of spades from the set to the run in order to lay down a 7 of spades.
*To discard, put one of your cards in your hand face-up on the discard pile. Players signal the end of every turn by getting rid of a card in this way.
Once a player has laid down all of his or her cards, the other player’s cards are totaled up and added to the previous round’s total. The rounds continue in this manner until one player reaches or goes over a target score and the rummy game is over. Then, the player with the lowest score wins.Play
Players take turns, rotating clockwise, starting with the person to the left of the dealer. In a two-player game, players alternate turns.
Each turn includes the following, in this order:
*Drawing. Each player must start his or her turn by adding a card to his or her hand. Players can choose to take the first card from the discard pile or the stock pile.
*Melding. After beginning his or her turn by drawing a card, a player may lay a valid set or run down if he or she has one. Players can only put down one meld per turn (see Variations of Play). (Melding is optional)
*Laying off. After melding, players can add on to runs or sets already melded by any player. Players can lay off as many cards per turn as they’d like. Laying off is optional as well.
*Discarding. To signal that his or her turn is over, a player must discard a card from his or her hand to the discard pile. If a player picked up the card from the discard pile at the beginning of his or her turn, that player may not discard the same card in the same turn.
When the stock runs out, the discard pile is shuffled, turned face-down and the top card is turned face up next to it. Play continues. (See Variations of Play for alternate practices)
The round immediately ends when a player gets rid of all cards in his or her hand, or ’goes out.” That player wins the round.Scoring
Once the round ends with a player going out, total up the other players’ cards as follows:
*Kings, Queens, Jacks, and 10s: 10 points
*Number cards: face value
*Aces: 1 point
The total value of the cards left in each losing player’s hand is recorded and added to the previous round’s total. The points are penalty points.
When any player reaches a previously agreed upon target score (often 100), the player with the lowest score wins. (See Variations of Play for other scoring options)Strategy
Here are some tips and tricks for how to win Rummy:
*Get rid of face cards and other high-value cards. If you can, do so early on in the game. If not, at least do so towards the end when you notice that your opponent is about to run out of cards. This means you’ll run your own score up less.
*Mathematically, it’s easier to make a run than it is to get 3 of a kind. So if you’re forced to discard either a card that could later form a run or one that could be part of a set, it’s better to discard one that could later form a set.
*Pay attention to what your opponent does. If he or she grabs a 10 of spades from the deck, you can bet that they probably either have a 10 already or are trying to complete a run of spades. Do your best to block them from getting rid of their cards!
*Keep in mind that a run can have more than 3 cards in a row. Sometimes, the best way to get rid of cards fast is to form a 5- or 6-card run.
These are just the basics. For more in depth strategy of Rummy, check out White Knuckle.Variations of Rummy
Looking to mix things up a bit? Here are some alternative house rules you can use. Be sure to discuss and decide upon any variations among fellow players before starting a game.Set Number of Rounds
Instead of playing to a target score, players can decide to play to a set number of rounds. In this case, the player with the least amount of points after the set number of hands is the winner.More than One Meld
Some play that players are allowed to lay down any number of melds during each turn. This is a very common variation; be sure that all players are on the same page about how many melds can be played during each turn before beginning a game.
Many also give a player bonus points if he or she goes out in one turn or ’going rummy,” as they call it. When a player ’goes rummy,’ the hand’s score is doubled.Laying Off Before Melding
Some don’t allow a player to lay off cards until he or she has laid down a meld. This is also a very common variation.Aces High
The standard rules dictate that aces are only low. Hence, a run of Ace, 2, 3 would count, but a run of Queen, King, Ace wouldn’t. Some let aces count as either low or high. When this rule is implemented, aces count for 15 points rather than 1 point, since they’re more useful.
Even when this rule is implemented, aces can’t be both high and low at the same time, such as in a King, Ace, 2 run. (Some allow these sort of runs, but it’s rare)Jokers
Standard Rummy doesn’t use jokers. Some play that jokers can be used as wild cards that can replace any other card to form sets and sequences. When this rule is implemented, jokers are valued at 15 points and can be used by other players once they’re on the table.Discard Last
Some require players to discard a card even at the end of their last turn. 7sultans casinos. Playing with this rule, a player wouldn’t be permitted to meld or lay off all of his or her cards since he or she couldn’t finish by discarding one.Reusing Discard Pile
In old rummy rules, the discard pile isn’t supposed to be shuffled before being reused as stock. However, this version of play isn’t very fair because without a shuffle, any player who can memorize the discarded cards in order will have a clear advantage. Due to this, most card game books now recommend shuffling the pile before continuing play.
In both instances, using the discard pile as new stock over and over has other disadvantages. If each

*Example: To a run of a 3 of spades, 4 of spades, and 5 of spades, a player could add a 2 of spades to the beginning or a 6 of spades to the end.
*However, players may not rearrange any melds as they lay off.
*Example: If a set of the 6 of clubs, 6 of spades, 6 of diamonds, and 6 of hearts and a run of the 3 of spades, 4 of spades, and 5 of spades are both on the table, a player couldn’t move the 6 of spades from the set to the run in order to lay down a 7 of spades.
*To discard, put one of your cards in your hand face-up on the discard pile. Players signal the end of every turn by getting rid of a card in this way.
Once a player has laid down all of his or her cards, the other player’s cards are totaled up and added to the previous round’s total. The rounds continue in this manner until one player reaches or goes over a target score and the rummy game is over. Then, the player with the lowest score wins.Play
Players take turns, rotating clockwise, starting with the person to the left of the dealer. In a two-player game, players alternate turns.
Each turn includes the following, in this order:
*Drawing. Each player must start his or her turn by adding a card to his or her hand. Players can choose to take the first card from the discard pile or the stock pile.
*Melding. After beginning his or her turn by drawing a card, a player may lay a valid set or run down if he or she has one. Players can only put down one meld per turn (see Variations of Play). (Melding is optional)
*Laying off. After melding, players can add on to runs or sets already melded by any player. Players can lay off as many cards per turn as they’d like. Laying off is optional as well.
*Discarding. To signal that his or her turn is over, a player must discard a card from his or her hand to the discard pile. If a player picked up the card from the discard pile at the beginning of his or her turn, that player may not discard the same card in the same turn.
When the stock runs out, the discard pile is shuffled, turned face-down and the top card is turned face up next to it. Play continues. (See Variations of Play for alternate practices)
The round immediately ends when a player gets rid of all cards in his or her hand, or ’goes out.” That player wins the round.Scoring
Once the round ends with a player going out, total up the other players’ cards as follows:
*Kings, Queens, Jacks, and 10s: 10 points
*Number cards: face value
*Aces: 1 point
The total value of the cards left in each losing player’s hand is recorded and added to the previous round’s total. The points are penalty points.
When any player reaches a previously agreed upon target score (often 100), the player with the lowest score wins. (See Variations of Play for other scoring options)Strategy
Here are some tips and tricks for how to win Rummy:
*Get rid of face cards and other high-value cards. If you can, do so early on in the game. If not, at least do so towards the end when you notice that your opponent is about to run out of cards. This means you’ll run your own score up less.
*Mathematically, it’s easier to make a run than it is to get 3 of a kind. So if you’re forced to discard either a card that could later form a run or one that could be part of a set, it’s better to discard one that could later form a set.
*Pay attention to what your opponent does. If he or she grabs a 10 of spades from the deck, you can bet that they probably either have a 10 already or are trying to complete a run of spades. Do your best to block them from getting rid of their cards!
*Keep in mind that a run can have more than 3 cards in a row. Sometimes, the best way to get rid of cards fast is to form a 5- or 6-card run.
These are just the basics. For more in depth strategy of Rummy, check out White Knuckle.Variations of Rummy
Looking to mix things up a bit? Here are some alternative house rules you can use. Be sure to discuss and decide upon any variations among fellow players before starting a game.Set Number of Rounds
Instead of playing to a target score, players can decide to play to a set number of rounds. In this case, the player with the least amount of points after the set number of hands is the winner.More than One Meld
Some play that players are allowed to lay down any number of melds during each turn. This is a very common variation; be sure that all players are on the same page about how many melds can be played during each turn before beginning a game.
Many also give a player bonus points if he or she goes out in one turn or ’going rummy,” as they call it. When a player ’goes rummy,’ the hand’s score is doubled.Laying Off Before Melding
Some don’t allow a player to lay off cards until he or she has laid down a meld. This is also a very common variation.Aces High
The standard rules dictate that aces are only low. Hence, a run of Ace, 2, 3 would count, but a run of Queen, King, Ace wouldn’t. Some let aces count as either low or high. When this rule is implemented, aces count for 15 points rather than 1 point, since they’re more useful.
Even when this rule is implemented, aces can’t be both high and low at the same time, such as in a King, Ace, 2 run. (Some allow these sort of runs, but it’s rare)Jokers
Standard Rummy doesn’t use jokers. Some play that jokers can be used as wild cards that can replace any other card to form sets and sequences. When this rule is implemented, jokers are valued at 15 points and can be used by other players once they’re on the table.Discard Last
Some require players to discard a card even at the end of their last turn. 7sultans casinos. Playing with this rule, a player wouldn’t be permitted to meld or lay off all of his or her cards since he or she couldn’t finish by discarding one.Reusing Discard Pile
In old rummy rules, the discard pile isn’t supposed to be shuffled before being reused as stock. However, this version of play isn’t very fair because without a shuffle, any player who can memorize the discarded cards in order will have a clear advantage. Due to this, most card game books now recommend shuffling the pile before continuing play.
In both instances, using the discard pile as new stock over and over has other disadvantages. If each
