Everything you need to know about Rummy set and sequence

In a game of rummy, when 13 cards are dealt, the purpose is to create sequences and sets. Sequences and sets are the main part on which the game is dependent. As the name suggests, a sequence is a group of three or more cards arranged in a consecutive order that belong to the same suit. There are two types of sequences in rummy: Pure sequence and Impure sequence.

 

Pure Sequence

A pure sequence, as the name suggests, is a sequence arranged in consecutive order, and all cards belong to the same suit. The trick here that makes it a “pure” sequence is that no card is replaced by a joker in a pure sequence. Also, as per rummy sequence rules, it is mandatory to have one pure sequence for a valid declaration. Examples: 7♦-8♦-9♦, A♣-2♣-3♣4♣, 2❤-3❤-4❤-5❤-6❤

Impure Sequence

An impure sequence is a sequence where 3 or more cards are arranged in a sequence that belongs to the same suit. In an impure sequence, cards can be replaced by a joker or jokers.

Examples:

10♥-J♥-PJ-K♥- Printed joker replacing Q♥

3♠-4♠-8♦ (WJ)- Wild joker replacing 5♠

Sets in rummy

A set is a formation of cards in which three or four cards are arranged in such a way that the rank should be the same, but suits have to be different. As per rummy set rules, the set cannot have more than 1 card from any suit.  A player can use a joker or jokers in replacement of the card to create a rummy set.

Examples:

Without a Joker 

7♦-7♥-7♠ This set has 7s from three different suits

2♦-2♠-2♥-2♣ This set has 2s from four different suits

 

With a joker 

4♠-4♣-K♥ (WJ)-Here, K♥ (WJ) is acting as a replacement car for 4♥ or 4♦

J♣-PJ-J♦- Printed joker has been used to replace the missing cards: J♥ or J♠

 2♣-2♠-A♥(WJ) In this set, the A♥ is a wild joker, which is acting as a replacement for 2♥ or 2♦

What happens on the play table in rummy

  • The game of rummy is played by 2 to 6 players, in which one or two decks are used, depending on how many players are playing on the table
  • Each player is dealt 13 cards at the start of the game, and the remaining cards are placed face down, forming a closed deck, and one card is faced up, which becomes the open deck, and the starting card for the game
  • There are two types of jokers that come in as a valuable cards in a game of rummy
  • A wild joker is randomly picked from the closed deck, and all the cards of the same rank or value become wild jokers in that game
  • A player must pick a card from the closed or open deck on each turn and discard a card to the open deck

Value of Joker in rummy

Each deck of cards consists of two jokers each, and out of which, any one card must be selected randomly, which will act as a joker for that game. All cards of that same rank will also be acting as a joker for the game. 

In rummy, the joker plays a valuable role. A joker is a card that is either blank or has a joker printed on it. A player can use it to form an impure sequence and sets. While arranging cards, creating a pure sequence is mandatory to win the rummy game.

Final summary-

Rummy is a skill game requiring players to apply their knowledge of cards and ace the game. It does improve their cognitive skills and enhances focus and concentration as well. Therefore,  clearing your concepts of rummy sets and rummy sequences and applying the same in practice games can help to fast-track your knowledge of the game. Therefore, give you the confidence to play with real money online or offline.

In the next game of rummy, make the move that makes you win, i.e., the right action that leads to a valid declaration. Make sure to make a valid declaration before your competition.
