Rummy Rules to Play Online Rummy

Rummy is a popular card game which is played between two to six players with two decks of cards including Joker cards.

• All the cards are ranked lower to higher. For example, Ace, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, Jack, Queen, and King.
• The face cards include Ace, Jack Queen, and King, holding 10 points each.
• All other cards other than face cards hold points equal to the value mentioned on them. For example, two cards have 2 points and four cards have 4 points.
• A player who has scored zero or fewer rummy points wins the game.

• If you are playing online rummy on Rummy Nabob Apk in sets, two sets are a must using cards of the same value but from different suites.
• If any player makes an invalid declaration without forming a pure sequence, he/she may lose the game or get penalty points.
• A toss decides which player will make the first move.

Know About Sequences & Sets

What are Sequences?

A sequence can be formed by grouping two or more cards consecutively from the same suit. It has two types:

Pure Sequence

As mentioned above, a pure sequence is vital to winning the game. A player can make a pure sequence using two or more consecutive cards from the same suit without using any joker card.

For example:

• A♣️ 2♣️ 3♣️ 4♣️ - It is a pure sequence with the use of four cards of clubs grouped in consecutive order.
• 5♥️ 6♥️ 7♥️ - A pure sequence consisting of three consecutive cards of Hearts.

Impure Sequence

On the contrary, an impure sequence is one which consists of two or more consecutive cards of the same suit along with a joker card.

For example:

• A♣️ 2♣️ 3♣️ 4♣️ - It is a pure sequence with the use of four cards of clubs grouped in consecutive order.
• 5♥️ 6♥️ 7♥️ - A pure sequence consisting of three consecutive cards of Hearts.

What are Sets?

Unlike sequences, a set is made using two or more cards with the same value but from different suits. In other words, the players aren’t allowed to use two cards from the same suit.

Sets without Jokers

• 2♥️ 2♠️ 2♣️ 2♦️ - A valid set made using four 2s of different suits without using any joker card
• A♥️ A♣️ A♦️ - A valid set consisting of three As of different suits without joker cards

• 4♦️ 4♣️ 4♠️ PJ - It is an invalid set as made using a Printed joker to replace 4 of Hearts
