Point Rummy is a fast-paced poker game where players strategically meld their hand cards into sequences (pure and impure) and sets, utilizing wild cards to augment their combinations. Each round begins with players drawing a card from the deck and discarding one from their hand, requiring astute decision-making to craft winning hands while minimizing points.

Players play for points which have a pre-decided rupee value.

Each player must bring a minimum amount to the table.

A toss will decide which player makes the first move.

Each player is dealt a set of 13 cards randomly.

First card from the pack is placed in the open deck indicating that the game has started.

Remaining cards are placed face-down in the closed deck slot.

A joker card is randomly selected at the beginning of each game.

Printed Joker: In case a printed joker is selected as joker for a game, then players can also use Ace card of any suit as a joker in their sets and / or sequences.

Objective : Arrange all 13 cards in-hand in sequences and/or sets.

Each player takes turns to pick/discard a card from closed/open deck to complete sets and/or sequences.

You can use one or more joker to complete your sets and/or sequences.

You can move a card to the finish slot to declare your sets and sequences.

To declare the player must show the cards in hand by grouping them in sets/sequences and clicking on 'Declare' button.

Compulsory: 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 7 ♠ 7 ♠ 7 ♥ is not a validset

How is the Scoring Done in Points Rummy?

Deciding the winner : The first player to finish after meeting the game objective wins. The winner gets 0 points.

• If one or more players drop the game in their first move, they get 20 points each and the game continues till a single winner emerges.
• If one or more players drop the game after their first move, they get 40 points each and the game continues till a single winner emerges.
• If a player declares without meeting the game objective, he/she gets 80 points and the game continues till there is a winner.

Points calculation for the player who loses:

Each card carries a certain number of points. The losing player gets points equal to his/her hand score which is computed as follows :

1. J, Q, K, A of any suit carry 10 points each.
2. All other numbered cards carry the same points as their face value e.g. 7 carries 7 points and 3 carries 3 points.
3. Joker cards carry zero points.
4. 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.
1. If the losing player has no pure sequence, all cards are counted.
2. If the losing player does not have two sequences, but has a pure sequence, only the pure sequence is not counted.
5. A player can get a maximum of 80 points. For instance, if a player's hand score is 85 he/she will still get only 80 points. But if a player's hand score is 75, he/she will get 75 points.
6. Special case : If a player misses 3 consecutive turns, he/she is dropped automatically from the game. This means that this player gets a middle drop score of 40 points.
