This IN555Game guide explains beginner Rummy through pure sequences and cautious practice. Understand the instructions first, practice carefully and approach every real-money result as uncertain.
The Objective of Rummy
The primary goal in Rummy is to arrange your 13 cards into valid sets and sequences. The first player to make a valid declaration with zero points wins the title.
Key Terminology
- Sequence: A group of three or more consecutive cards of the same suit. A pure sequence is one made without a Joker (e.g., 5♥ 6♥ 7♥). A pure sequence is mandatory to win.
- Set: A group of three or four cards of the same rank but different suits (e.g., A♠ A♥ A♦).
- Joker: A pre-determined card that can be used as a substitute for any other card to form sets or impure sequences.
