Rummy is a card game that is played with two decks of cards with total of two Jokers. To win the rummy game a player must make a valid declaration by picking and discarding cards from the two piles given. One pile is a closed deck, where a player is unable to see the card that he is picking, while the other is an open deck that is formed by the cards discarded by the players. To win at rummy card game, the players have to group cards in valid sequences and sets.

Face cards count 10 each, aces 1 each, and every other card its pip value. A player goes 'rummy' when they get rid of all cards in their hand at once, without previously having put down or laid off any cards. In this event, every other player pays double - twice what opponents would otherwise owe.

Points Rummy: Also called 80 points rummy, this game is the most basic version of Rummy and many beginners enjoy this format before progressing onto harder ones. In this, players can.

In rummy, the cards in each suit rank low to high starting with Ace, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, Jack, Queen and King. Ace, Jack, Queen and King each has 10 points. The remaining cards have value equal to their face value. For example, 5 cards will have 5 points and so on.

The Objective Of Rummy

The objective of rummy card game is to arrange the 13 cards in valid sets and sequences. To win the game you need to make minimum 2 sequences, out of which one needs to be pure sequence and rest can be any valid sequence or sets. Without a pure sequence you cannot make a valid rummy declaration. This is one of the most important rummy rules.

How to Form Sequences?

In rummy, a sequence is a group of three or more consecutive cards of the same suit. There are two types of sequences that are formed; a pure sequence and an impure sequence. To win the game of rummy you need at least one pure sequence in your rummy hand.

Pure Sequence

A pure sequence is a group of three or more cards of the same suit, placed in consecutive order. To form a pure sequence in rummy card game, a player cannot use any Joker or wild card.

Here are a few examples of pure sequence.

5♥ 6♥ 7♥ (Pure sequence with three cards and there is no Joker or wild card used)
3♠ 4♠ 5♠ 6♠ (Pure sequence with four cards. There is no use of Joker or wild cards here.)

Impure Sequence

An impure sequence is a group of three or more cards of the same suit with one or more Joker card used.

Here are some examples to show how an impure sequence is formed.

6♦ 7♦ Q♠ 9♦ (Here Q♠ has been used as a wild Joker replacing 8♦ to form an impure sequence.)
5♠ Q♥ 7♠ 8♠ PJ (Impure sequence with Q♥ as wild joker that is replacing 6♠ and the Printed Joker is replacing 9♠.)

How to Form Sets?

A set is a group of three or more cards of the same value but of different suits. When you are forming sets, you can use wild card and Jokers.

Examples of sets

A♥ A♣ A♦ (In this set, all the Ace are of different suits, make a valid set.)
8♦ 8♣ 8♠ 8♥ (Rummy set is formed with four 8 cards of different suits.)
9♦ Q♠ 9♠ 9♥ (Here Q♠ has been used as wild joker replacing 9♣ to make set.)
5♦ 5♣ 5♠ PJ (Printed joker replacing 5♥ to make set.)
5♦ 5♣ Q♠ PJ (Here Q♠ has been used as wild joker replacing 5♠ & Printed joker replacing 5♥ to make set.)
5♦ 5♣ PJ Q♥ Q♠ (This is a set of 5 cards with Printed joker & Q♥ as wild joker replacing 5♠ 5♥ and one more wild joker Q♠ to complete 13 cards grouping.)

Typical Example: 2♥ 3♥ 4♥ 5♥ 5♣ 6♣ 7♣ 8♣ 5♦ 5♣ PJ Q♥ Q♠ (Set of 5 cards is made to complete the grouping of 13 cards and make a valid declaration)

Note: The set is formed with same card of different suits. However, you can’t use two or more cards of the same suit. This is taken as an invalid declaration. Also, note that a set can have more than four cards. So, if you have a set of four cards and you are using an additional Joker, then in total it becomes a 5 cards group and still be a valid set. At no given time, the hand can have more than 13 cards.

Examples of invalid set

Q♥ Q♥ Q♦ (There are two Qs of the same suit ♥ making it an invalid set.)
7♠ 7♥ 7♦ 7♠ Q♥ (It has two 7 spades of the same suit. The wild card Q♥ as the fifth card is valid but having two 7♠ is making it invalid.)

How To Play Rummy Card Game?

Follow this simple rummy rules and instructions to know how to play the game from start to end:

Rummy card game is played between 2 to 6 players with 2 decks of cards. Each player is dealt with 13 cards and a random card is selected as wild joker or joker card of the game.
The player has to draw and discard cards to form valid sets and sequences of the 13 cards in hand where player can also use wild joker or printed joker of the deck to make impure sequence and sets.
As per indian rummy rules, once a player arranged 13 cards in valid 2 sequences including 1 pure sequence and more groups (sequences or sets), one can make a declaration and win the game.

Quick Tips To Win The Rummy Card Game

Just as it’s important to know the rummy rules, it is also necessary to play carefully and with focus. Here are quick tips to win the rummy game and stay a step ahead of your competitors.

Form the pure sequence at the very beginning of the game. Without a pure sequence, a player cannot make a declaration.
Discard cards with high points like Ace, Jack, Queen and King. Replace these cards with Joker or Wild Cards. It reduces the point load, in case you lose the game.
As much as possible, avoid picking from the discard pile. It gives away what hand you are trying to form.
Look out for smart cards. For example, a 7 of any suit can work with 5 and 6 of the same suit and also 8 and 9 of the same suit.
Jokers play an important role in rummy. Try using them to replace high value cards. Remember, Joker and wild cards cannot be used to form pure sequence.
When you are ready to make a declaration, check and recheck your cards and then press the button. An invalid declaration can turn even a winning game into a complete loss.

Common Terms Used In Rummy Rules

Here are some common terms of Indian Rummy that every player needs to know before he starts playing.

What is a Rummy Table?

It is the table where the game of rummy is played. Every rummy table can sit two to six players for each game.

What is Joker and Wild Cards?

In each rummy deck there is a Printed Joker and there is a Wild Card that is selected at random at the beginning of the game. The role of both these types of card is the same. Jokers are used to form sets and impure sequences. A Joker card can replace the desired number when forming the groups. This is a valid formation in a rummy game.

What is Draw and Discard?

In all Rummy games, each player is dealt 13 cards. Additionally, there are 2 stacks from which each player can select cards, thereby drawing a card. Once a player draws a card, he has to get rid of one card - this is called discarding.

What is Sorting of Cards?

Sorting of cards are done at the beginning of the game. This is done to arrange your cards to help you form your sets and sequences reducing the probability of mixing the cards. Once, the cards are displayed, you can hit the Sort button and start playing.

What is a Drop?

When a player decides to leave the game table at the start or middle of the rummy game, it is a drop. The act is withdrawing from the game as a personal decision. The first drop=20 points; middle drop= 40 points and last drop and maximum point loss is 80 points.

In case of Pool rummy, if a player drops in 101 pool, the score is 20. In case, it is 201 pool rummy, the drop score is 25. In a game, where it is best of 2 and best of 3 is played, then a drop is not allowed.

What are Cash Tournaments?

Cash tournaments are those that are played for Real Cash and have Real Cash Prizes (in INR). These tournaments run 24x7 and are conducted in a knock-out style. To play any of the cash games, the player has to add Cash to its RummyCircle account.

How do I Join a Tournament?

Go to 'Tournaments' in the top navigation panel. Now, select the type of Tournament you wish to play. In the corresponding Tournament List, click on any of the Open tournaments that you wish to join. Finally, click on the blinking Join This Tournament button under Tournament Details.

What is an Invalid Declaration?

An invalid declaration happens in rummy card game when the player presses the Declaration button, but the cards are not in valid sequences and sets. Therefore, the player will lose the game and the competitor will automatically be declared as the winner.

Here are few examples of common invalid declarations players make while playing rummy:

Wrong Declaration with Invalid Sets
Example 1: 10♠ 10♠ 10♦ 10♣ Q♥
A set can have 3 cards or more, however a set needs to be formed with cards of the same value and different suits. In this situation, the Wild Joker (Queen of Hearts) card was added and that became the fifth card, which is valid as per rules, however the group consist of 2 cards of the same suit making it a wrong declaration.
Example 2: K♥ K♥ K♦
In this set, there are 3 cards which is well within the minimum limit. Also, a set consists of cards of the same face value but has to be of different suits. The set cannot have more than one card of the same suit. In this example, the set consists of two cards of the same suit and that makes it a wrong declaration.
Wrong Declaration with Invalid Sequences
Example 1: 10♠ 10♥ 10♦ 10♣ 5♠ 5♥ 5♦ 6♠ 6♥ 6♣ 9♥ 9♦ Joker
A valid declaration requires 2 sequences, out of which one needs to be pure sequence i.e. sequence without joker and the other can be pure or impure sequence i.e. sequence with or without joker. However, in the given example there is neither sequence made making it an invalid declaration.
Example 2: K♥ K♠ K♦ 6♥ 7♥ Joker 9♠ 10♠ J♠ Joker 5♠ 5♥ 5♦
A valid declaration must have 2 sequences, out of which one needs to be pure sequence i.e. sequence without joker and the other can be pure or impure sequence i.e. sequence with or without joker. This example shows that there are 2 sequences, but both are impure sequence i.e. sequence with joker and the pure sequence is not there. It is compulsory to have a pure sequence before you make a declaration.
Example 3: Q♥ Q♠ Q♦ 6♥ 7♥ 8♥ 9♥ 5♠ 5♥ 5♦ 10♠ 10♥ 10♦
Sequences are very important for a rummy card game and you need minimum 2 sequences, out of which one needs to be pure sequence and the other can be pure or impure sequence to win the game. In this example, there is a pure sequence, however the 2nd sequence is missing and hence it is an invalid declaration.

How Are Your Winnings Calculated In Rummy Cash Games?

At the end of the day it is all about seeing that winning cash amount in your account. You also need to be very clear how you are getting the sum that is reflecting in your Dashboard. Let’s help you understand how these calculations are done to play rummy online for real money.

Winning Calculation in Points Rummy?
When you are playing points rummy cash games, it is based on a pre-decided rupee value. The winner of the game wins the entire cash amount lost by the other players at the end of the game. Here is how the calculation is done.
Winning Cash = (Sum of all points of opponents) X (Rupee value of the point) - RummyCircle Fee
Here is an example that will help us understand this better:
Example:
Total of 6 players playing points rummy for cash on Rs. 860 table. Each point has a pre-decided value of Rs. 4. There will be 1 player who will be the winner and remaining 5 will lose the game. The losing points of the remaining 5 players would be 45, 78, 23, 20, 40 respectively. The winnings will be calculated as:
4x (45+78+23+20+40) = Rs. 824
This amount, after the deduction of RummyCircle fee will reflect in the player’s account.
Winnings Calculation in Pool Rummy?
The winning for pools rummy is calculated as per the given calculation:
Winnings = (Entry Fee) X (Number of Players) - RummyCircle fees
Example:
Players pay the fixed entry fee for the tournament, which is used to form the prize pool. If 5 players join a pool rummy with Rs. 50 as entry fee. The prize pool of the game will be Rs. 250.
The winner will win Rs. 50 x 5 = Rs. 250
This amount will be credited to the winner’s account after the deduction of the RummyCircle fees.
Winnings Calculation in Deals Rummy?
In deals rummy, the winner wins all the chips at the end of each deal. Here is how the winnings are calculated:
Winnings =Sum of points of all opponents assuming each chip is equal to one point.
Example:
Let’s assume that there are 6 players on the table and the player 5 declares his hand. The other four players will lose with 10, 20, 30, 35 and 40 points respectively. The winner’s chips will be calculated as 10 + 20 + 30 + 35 + 40 =135 chips.

Students will reinforce and acquire new library research skills.

Materials Needed

8 Fish Fact Rummy card sets
8 white business envelope for each Rummy card set
4 large wall charts (easel paper) for developed Fish Fact Rummy Grid (Appendix A)

Teaching Model: Cooperative Learning

Forest Rummy online, free

Subject Covered: (aquatic) biology

Topics Covered: Pennsylvania Game Fish, fish habitat, spawning, species identification

Methods

Library Research Component

The format is based on a seventh grade class size of 25-28 students; allow two 42-minute class periods.
Students will work in groups of two or three. Library research assignment will consist of reference work using field guides, Pennsylvania Fishes, and Web sites to acquire information on the following Pennsylvania Game Fish: striped bass, brook trout, largemouth bass, yellow perch, and walleye. The following categories will be required: water habitat, spawning locale, water temperature, food, and distinguishing characteristics. Other information may be collected for a future activity extension, including a classroom presentation.

In-Class Preparation

Students will work first as a class sharing information and developing a grid (Appendix A) , then in groups of two or three to prepare classroom-sized grids or 'cards' for one fish they researched; allow one 42-minute class period.
Following acquisition of information, the class will develop a grid illustrating the above components (Appendix A, Fish Fact Rummy Information Grid) .
Two groups will transfer the grid information to sheets of large easel-sized paper (two created by each group) so four information grids may be viewed in the classroom when the rummy game is played.
The remaining five groups of students will create a 3 x 4 inch 'card' for each of the five components for one of the assigned fish. Each group's'cards' may then be reproduced, cut out, and glued on 3 x 4 inch index cards so eight rummy sets may be made. An accurate illustration of each fish may be acquired by using the PA Fish and Boat Commission Pennsylvania Fishes Identification Guide Brochure. The illustration sizes are easily adapted to gluing on 3 x 4 inch index cards. Several guides may be placed around the room during play for accurate color representation. This will supply a 6th card for each component 'set.'

Playing the Game

Students will play in groups of two or three, using the Classroom Information Grid Sheets (Appendix A) and prepared index card 'decks'; allow one 42-minute class period. The rummy game will be based on luck, but students will acquire knowledge and learn characteristics of these game fish while playing.

Fish Fact Rummy Rules

The object of the game is for a student to get a complete 'set' of components from the Fish Fact Information Grid for a particular fish, i.e.., a complete vertical column (Appendix A) . The game ends when all complete sets have been made. The player with the most complete sets is declared the winner. Each group playing in the class will thus have a winner.
Begin the game by a dealer giving five (six with picture) cards to each player in the group. (All groups in the room will be playing simultaneously.) The first player may discard an unwanted card face up next to the remaining deck, and select a new one. Play continues as players choose to select from the new deck and discard, or from the discard pile and discard until all complete 'sets' have been formed.
Following initial play, winners may play winners, consolation games may be played, or groups may play groups as a 'team.'
A game session may be repeated periodically for either a full period or partial period whenever time permits for reinforcement.
Sharing information: Groups may share what they have learned, by using a group presentation format or by having a class discussion on each fish with lead off statements such as, 'I find it interesting that. . . . '

Assessment

On a given day, unannounced, have students play Fish Fact Rummy without the posting of the large Fish Fact Grids around the room. The teacher will circulate and observe play and conversations during play to assess the students' familiarity with the selected fish studied. Ease of discussion and accuracy of information should be indicative of the level of learning that has taken place.

Conclusion

'I can tell by your involvement today that we have acquired some knowledge of some of Pennsylvania's common Game Fish. Hopefully, those of you who fish with your family will be able to use some of the information you learned during our research and on game days. Who knows? Those of you who do not fish might find a new interest learning more about the varied aquatic environments we have in our state as you hike, boat, or just explore for pleasure. If you liked this way of learning facts, please let me know your thoughts, and perhaps we will be able to apply it to other areas of study. We can also add other categories to our present game, such as Endangered Species in Pennsylvania, and make our present game more challenging.'
