If there are only two players they each get 10 cards, if there are three or four player then each player gets 7 cards. After the cards are dealt the deck is put facedown on the table, and one card face up next to it, to start the discard pile. The player to the left of the dealer starts the hand, and gameplay goes as follows:. The game continues like this until one player has finished all the cards from their hand.
A player is not required to end the game by discarding a card onto the discard pile, if he can lay down all his cards in melds, or lay them off on existing melds the may do so, and will win the game.
If the deck is depleted before a player has won, then the discard pile is shuffled and used as a new deck. If the deck is depleted for a second time then the hand is considered a stalemate and finishes with no one getting any points. The scoring in Rummy is winner-takes-all. When a player has won a round, the cards his opponents still have in their hands are counted and the winner gets points based on them.
Face cards are worth 10 points each, aces are 1 point, and other cards are worth their rank, e. The points for all the losers are added together and given to the winner.
In some variations each player gets his points as penalty points, but not in this version. The score needed to win the entire game varies based on how many players there are. For 2 players the score is points, for 3 players it's points and for four players the score is When a player reaches the target score he has won the entire game.
Since scoring is based on cards left in hand it makes sense to try to meld and lay off as early as possible. If a player has not melded or laid off any cards during the game, but can get rid of all his cards in one turn earns a bonus, his points are doubled! This is called Going Rummy , and is a risky move, since you have a lot of cards for a long time, but can really pay off if you manage to do it successfully! There are two cases where the game can end in a stalemate. One, as mentioned above, is when the stock has been depleted twice.
The other is when the game detects that none of the players will be able to finish their hands. This can for example happen when all players have only one card left, and there are no possible lay offs on the melds on the table.
When there's a stalemate all players get 0 points, and the game is considered a loss for all of them in the statistics. The way people handle this in real life varies greatly, but I've chosen this simple method here to avoid complications around two or more players having the same number of points etc. This online version of the classic card game Rummy was made by me. My name is Einar Egilsson and over there on the left is my current Facebook profile picture.
A few months ago I made Gin Rummy. After that the most requested game has been standard Rummy, so now I've made that! Enjoy :. The playing card images were made by Nicu Buculei.

Yes, discard it No, don't discard it. Don't show me these warnings again.
Rummy Show warnings. Show score animation. This is also a very common variation. The standard rules dictate that aces are only low. Hence, a run of Ace, 2, 3 would count, but a run of Queen, King, Ace wouldn't. Some let aces count as either low or high. When this rule is implemented, aces count for 15 points rather than 1 point, since they're more useful. Even when this rule is implemented, aces can't be both high and low at the same time, such as in a King, Ace, 2 run.
Some allow these sort of runs, but it's rare. Standard Rummy doesn't use jokers. Some play that jokers can be used as wild cards that can replace any other card to form sets and sequences.
When this rule is implemented, jokers are valued at 15 points and can be used by other players once they're on the table. Some require players to discard a card even at the end of their last turn. Playing with this rule, a player wouldn't be permitted to meld or lay off all of his or her cards since he or she couldn't finish by discarding one. In old rummy rules, the discard pile isn't supposed to be shuffled before being reused as stock. However, this version of play isn't very fair because without a shuffle, any player who can memorize the discarded cards in order will have a clear advantage.
Due to this, most card game books now recommend shuffling the pile before continuing play. In both instances, using the discard pile as new stock over and over has other disadvantages. If each player hoards cards that other players want, each player could draw from the pile and discard the card he or she just drew. Theoretically, this sort of game could go on forever. To avoid that sort of repetition, players might consider limiting how many times they reshuffle the discard pile per round.
The discard pile is never reused In a variation of rummy called block rummy. Once the stock pile runs out, the game is over and all players score their remaining cards. Each card can only be used in one meld. Each player is dealt 10 cards.
The top card of the remaining deck is flipped up to create the discard pile. The objective of the game is to create runs and sets with your 10 cards. A run is three or more cards in a row of the same suit. A set is three or four of the same ranking cards. The game starts with the non dealer deciding if she wants the face-up top card.
If this player passes, then player 1 has the option to pick up the discard. If that player passes, player 2 begins the game by drawing the top card of the deck. The player may keep the card to form a run, or discard it. The player then discards another card, and places it on the pile. If player 1 does not want this card, he will draw from the deck. He may pass on this card, or add it and discard another. Play continues back and forth as players try to create sets and runs in their hand.
With each turn, they decide whether to take the top discard or to draw from the deck. A run is made of three or more cards of the same suit in increasing or decreasing order. For example, if the knock card was a five, then the person who is knocking has five or less points left in their hand.
Going gin earns a 25 point bonus, and also the deadwood value of the other player. On each turn you can choose to take the top card off the waste pile or pull a card from the stock. You then discard a card and it is the other player's turn. In Gin Rummy a player does not need to lay tricks throughout the hand, but can knock also known as going down when the numerical value of cards in their hands that are not parts of sets or runs called "deadwood" is 10 or less.
The winnger player scores points based on which cards their opponent holds in their hand at the end of a hand which are not part of a set or run. When one player knocks the other player loys down their cards the deadwood between the two hands is compared. This difference is used to determine how many points the winner scored.
For example, if you knock and have 8 points of deadwood and your opponent has 18 points of deadwood you score 10 points while your opponent scores zero. Players can track which cards have been thrown on the waste pile to infer their odds of being able to make various melds.
There is no point trying to create a meld where one of the cards needed has already been thrown away. In each turn a player must start by drawing one card.
He can either draw the top card from the deck or the top card from the discard pile. Generally you only draw the top card from the discard pile if you know that the card will help you create a meld with some of the other cards in your hand. Note: In the first turn, the starting player must choose to either draw the face up card in the board or pass the turn. If the card is drawn, proceed normally.
If the turn is passed, the other player gets to make the same choice. If they pass too, the first player takes their turn normally. After the player has drawn a card he must discard one card by putting it face up on top of the discard pile. If the player has drawn the top card from the discard pile at the start of the turn he may not discard that card until his next turn also, that wouldn't make any sense at all. He may however discard a card he has just drawn from the deck, or any other card he has in his hand.
The game continues like this, with players drawing and discard cards, while they try to build sets and runs in their hand. The round ends when one player knocks , by discarding a card and putting it face down on the discard pile. The player that knocked the knocker then shows his melds and his deadwood by putting it face up on the table.
The opponent then shows his melds and deadwood. The opponent is allowed to lay off any of his deadwood cards onto the knocker's melds if he can.
For example if the knocker had a meld, H1 H2 H3 and the opponent has a H4 as part of his deadwood he can add it to the knocker's meld, and then it won't count as deadwood anymore.
The knocker cannot do the same, he can never lay off his deadwood. Additionally, if the knocker has Gin or Big Gin no deadwood then the opponent is not allowed to lay off any cards.
There are some rules for when you can knock. They vary between different versions, but this is how it's done on this site: You may only knock if you end up with 10 or fewer points of deadwood human cards count as 10, aces as 1 and other cards their numeric values.
The card you knock with put facedown on the discard pile is not included in that number. Knocking with no deadwood, i. Going Big Gin is when you have 11 cards in melds, in which case you can say you have Big Gin and the game ends without you discarding the final card facedown. The game also ends if neither player has knocked and there are only two cards left in the deck. In that case the hand is a tie, and neither player gets any points. Scoring is based on deadwood and bonuses, the actual melds don't actually count for anything, they're only good to minimize your deadwood.
And that's it. I'm sure there are plenty of people who prefer other rules, but you can never please everyone and these are the rules I'm going with. This online version of Gin Rummy was made by me. My name is Einar Egilsson and over there on the left is my current Facebook profile picture. Gin Rummy is a game I've been playing a lot lately with my son. I used to play a lot of Rummy when I was younger, but I prefer Gin Rummy now, and it's also a bit easier to create because you can't lay down melds all the time, which makes programming it simpler : I hope you enjoy the game!
