Rummy Rules

Setup

Rummy uses a standard 52-card deck. This browser version deals seven cards to you and seven to the AI, then turns one card face up to begin the discard pile.

Object

The goal is to clear your hand. You do that by laying melds onto the table and discarding your last card before the opponent goes out.

Melds

A set is three or four cards of the same rank. A run is three or more consecutive cards in the same suit. Both are valid melds that can be laid on the table.

Turn Order

Draw one card from the stock or the discard pile. If you can lay a set or run, place it on the table. Then discard one card to end your turn.

Winning

The first player to empty their hand wins the round. The winner scores based on the unmatched card value left in the opponent hand.
