How to play Indian Rummy?

2. Known with different names and rules,
Rummy is the most widely played card
game in the world.
Classical Indian Rummy(or Paplu) is the
Indian version of original rummy with
little variations. It could be considered a
cross between Rummy 500 and Gin
Rummy.
@DeccanRummy it is all the more easier
and simpler :)

3. Objective
Arrange all 13 cards in-hand in
sequences and/or sets. The cards in
hand are arranged to form at least
two sequences, out of which one has
to be a pure sequence. The other
remaining cards can be arranged in
valid sequences and/or sets.

4. Gameplay
* Random toss decides the player who will
make the first move.
* Wild Joker is randomly selected and 13
cards are dealt to each player.
* First card from the pack is placed in the
open deck.
* Remaining cards are placed face-down.
* Each player takes turns to pick/discard a
card from closed/open deck to complete
sets and/or sequences

5. Note:
In case a Printed Joker is selected
as joker, then Ace card of any suit is
used as a joker in their sets /
sequences.
Must :
To finish the game, you must
declare at least two sequences, one
of which must be a pure sequence.
Caution :
With two decks, you cannot use the
same card twice in a set. For
instance - 5♠ 5♠ 5♥ is not a valid

6. Declare:
* Discard one of the cards in the finish slot.
* Click on the 'Declare' button.
* Group and declare your sets and sequences.
Drop:
* Each player gets an option to drop the game
in their turn, throughout the game duration.
* To avail the Drop option, the player must
not have picked a card from open/closed deck
in that turn.

7. ● First Drop : If a player drops the game
in their very first turn, they get 20
points.
● Middle Drop : If a player drops the
game in a turn other than the first,
they get 40 points.
● Missed Turns : If a player misses 3
consecutive turns, he/she is dropped
from the game. This means that this
player gets 40 points.
● Disconnection Scenario : If a player
gets disconnected, they are dropped
from the game and get 40 points.

8. Scoring Pattern
1. Each card carries a certain number of points. The losing
player gets points equal to their hand score :
● J, Q, K, A of any suit carry 10 points each.
● Numbered cards carry the same points as their value.
● Joker cards carry zero points.
2. At the end of the game, a losing player's hand score is
computed by adding points for cards that are not grouped as
sets/sequences with the following exceptions.
● If there are no pure sequence, all cards are counted.
● If the loser does not have two sequences, but has a pure
sequence, only the pure sequence is not counted.

9. 3. Full count : Maximum points that a
player can get in one game is 80.
Considering HS - Hand Score | PTs - Points.
* If HS<80 then PTs = HS
* If HS>=80 then PTs = 80
4. Special Case 1 : If the losing player has
not had his first turn before the opponent has
made a valid declaration, then they get 20
points.
5. Special Case 2 : If a player declares
without meeting the game objective, they get
80 points and the game continues till there is
a winner.
