Rummy Card Game

In this classic four-player Rummy game, each player starts with seven cards from one 52-card deck. One card starts the discard pile; the other 23 form the face-down stock.

Win a hand by emptying your hand: play your cards into sets and runs, then discard your last card, or go out by playing it into a combination. You score the value of the cards left in the other three hands. The first player to reach 200 points wins the match.

This is classic Rummy for four players. Melds go onto the table during play and anyone can add to them. Gin Rummy is a different two-player game built around deadwood, knocking, and gin.

Aces are low here, and worth 1 point, not 11. A–2–3 is a valid run; Q–K–A is not.

A set is three or four cards of the same rank in different suits, like three queens. A run is three or more cards of the same suit in order, like the 7, 8 and 9 of hearts.

The winner of a hand collects the value of every card left in the other hands: aces 1, cards 2–10 face value, and jacks, queens and kings 10. If the other hands hold 12, 9 and 15 points, the winner scores 36. Go out in one turn without melding or laying off earlier and the Rummy bonus doubles it to 72.

The discard pile is shuffled into a new stock once, leaving its top card face up. If the stock runs out again, the hand ends in a draw with no points. A hand that becomes impossible for anyone to finish also ends without points.
