A Beginner’s Guide to Playing Online Rummy Games

The objective of the game is to form at least two sequences of the cards. One out of these two sequences should be a pure sequence i.e., without a joker. Valid sequences and sets must be made out of the remaining cards. Here is a comprehensive list of the basic concepts used in online rummy games: Sequence: A group of 3 or more cards (consecutive) of the same suit is called a sequence. For instance: 6♥ 7♥ 8♥ or A♣ K♣ Q♣ J♣

• Pure Sequence: A group of 3 or more consecutive cards of the same suit without a joker is called a pure sequence.
• Impure Sequence: A group of 3 or more consecutive cards of the same suit with 1 or more jokers is called an impure sequence.

Set: Three or more cards of the same value but of different suits make a set. For instance: A♥A♣A♦ or 7♦7♣7♠7♥ Invalid Set: Please note that in a set all the cards should be of different suits. If any two cards are found to be of the same suit, it is called an invalid set. For instance: K♥ K♥ K♦ or 7♦ 7♣ 7♦ 7♥ Joker: There are two kinds of Joker in a rummy game. Each of them serves different purposes and helps in winning the game.

• Wild Joker: A wild joker is selected in the beginning of the game from the closed deck of cards. The wild joker can be used in place of any other card in the game. For instance:

If Q ♥ is a wild joker, selected randomly, then Q of any suit can be used as the wild joker. Here 3♦ 4♦ Q♠ 6♦. Q♠ has replaced 5♦ to form a sequence of 3♦ 4♦ 5♦ 6♦ A♦ Q♣ A♠ A♥ - Q♣ has replaced A♣ to form a set of A♦ A♣ A♠ A

• Printed Joker: These cards are used in a similar fashion and can be used in place of any other card to form sets and sequences.For example: 6♦ 7♦ (PJ) 9♦ - A Printed Joker has replaced 8♦ to form a sequence of 6♦ 7♦ 8♦ 9♦. 2♦ (PJ) 2♠ 2♥ - Printed Joker has replaced 2♣ to form a set of 2♦ 2♣ 2♠ 2♥
