13 cards online Rummy is a classic card game where the objective is to get rid of your hand cards by creating melds that can be either sets or sequences. There are many online rummy websites available these days to play rummy safely with stakes involved. Also, playing rummy for stakes has been declared legal by the Supreme Court of India.
Rummy Basics
A minimum of 2 players and a maximum of 6 players can participate in 13 card rummy games online. Up to 6 players use two decks of cards in a rummy game. Each deck consists of the standard 52 cards and one additional wild card, with the image of "Joker" printed on it. The objective of the game is to meld the 13 hand cards into proper sets & sequences. In order to win, the player must at least have two sequences, one of which must be a pure sequence (without Jokers) and other cards arranged in sequences and/or sets.
Three or four cards of the same rank are called sets eg: ♥6♠6♦6. All the cards in a set have to be of different suits.
A sequence aka run is a combination of 3 or more cards of the same suit in a consecutive order. A sequence can be pure if does not have a Joker, it is mandatory to at least have one pure sequence while declaring. Eg: 6♦7♦8♦
6♦7♦ and 8♦ are three consecutive cards of the same suit ♦.
Two types of jokers are used in rummy which makes the melding process easier.
Random Joker
At the beginning of the 13 card online rummy game, a wild joker card is selected randomly that can be used in place of any other card.
For example:
If J ♥ is selected as the random joker, then J of any suit can be used as the joker
4♦ 5♦ J♠ 7♦
J♠ has replaced 6♦ to form a sequence of 4♦ 5♦ 6♦ 7♦
Printed Joker
Printed jokers can be used as substitute card in your rummy games and serves similar purpose like the random joker. If you get printed jokers you can use them to replace any other cards to form sets and sequences. In case a printed joker is selected as a joker during the online rummy game, then ace card of any suit can be used as a joker.
Game Play
·
1 3 cards are dealt to each player
· The first card is placed on the open deck and a joker card is selected. Remaining cards are placed face-down in the closed deck slot.
· Players can then group their cards using the sort button provided.
· Players during their turn can pick a card from either open or closed deck and should discard the hand card on the open desk.
·
The player who arranges all the 13 cards in their hands in sets and sequences are declared as winners. After arranging the 13 cards in sets and sequences, the player should discard the final card on the finish slot to declare the game. If all the sets and sequences are valid as per the rules, the player wins with 0 points and the points of the losing players are calculated based on the value of cards remaining in their hands.
·
Declaring without Pure Sequence, Declaring without Sequence and making invalid sets are considered as wrong declaration and the player would lose with 80 points
Scoring
Scores of a player are calculated by adding the points of the cards left also called deadwood cards.
A, K, Q, and J – Each card carries 10 points each.
10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 - Face value is counted as points.
Random & Printed jokers - Zero.
A player’s maximum score in Rummy is 80.
Scenarios
Case 1: If the player has no pure sequence at the end of the game, then the points of all the 13 cards are calculated. His score would remain 80 in such cases.
Case 2: If the player has only a pure sequence at the end of the game, then the points are calculated based on the hand score of remaining cards.
Case 3: If the player has 2 sequences and one set, then the points of the cards that remain ungrouped are taken into consideration.
Case 4: If the player has no sets or sequences, then hand score of all the 13 cards are calculated and he would lose the game with 80 Points.
Case 5: If a player drops in the first move, he/she gets 20 points and the game continues till a single player finishes the game. The players who drop the game after the first round would lose with 40 Points.
Case 6: If a player declares the game without meeting the objective, he/she gets 80 points and the game continues till a player emerges as the winner.
Rummy Tips
1. Always Aim for a pure sequence
2. Try to get rid of high-value cards like K, Q, and J as they could cost you high when you fail to meet the objective in a rummy game.
3. Analyze the starting hand and play accordingly. If you have a bad hand, consider dropping out of the game as you would lose only with 20 points.
4. Try hoodwinking your opponents by throwing cards as bait to find out the sets/sequences they are trying to meld.
5. Use your joker cards wisely to reduce points. If you have a Jack and Queen of clubs vs. a two and three of spades, you should use the joker card with Jack and queen of clubs so that you would get points only for two and three of spades.
