Rummy is a popular card game in India that is played with two decks of cards and is usually meant for 2 to 6 players. The basic objective of the game is to form sets and runs with the cards you have in your hand. Here's a simple guide on how to play the standard version of Indian Rummy:
Objective:
The main goal of the game is to form valid sets and runs with the cards in your hand. A valid set is a group of three or four cards of the same rank, and a valid run is a sequence of three or more cards in the same suit.
Setup:
* Use two standard decks of 52 cards each, including the jokers. Each player is dealt 13 cards at the beginning of the game.
* Jokers are used as wild cards and can be used to replace any other card to form sets or runs.
Gameplay:
* Players take turns in a clockwise direction.
* On your turn, draw a card from the discard pile or the draw pile. If you draw from the discard pile, you must take all the cards above the desired card.
* After drawing a card, you must discard a card to the discard pile. The discarded card may be picked up by the next player in turn.
* Players try to form valid sets and runs in their hand.
* A player can declare when they have formed valid sets and runs. The declaration is made by placing the cards on the table. The remaining cards in the hand are counted for points.
* Face cards (King, Queen, Jack) are worth 10 points each.
* Number cards are worth their face value.
* Jokers are worth 0 points.
Winning:
The player with the lowest total points at the end of the agreed-upon number of rounds or when a player reaches the points limit is declared the winner.
Remember that there are variations of Rummy played in different regions, and house rules may vary. It's always a good idea to ensure everyone is on the same page regarding the rules before starting the game.
