Game rules
Rummy is a classic card game where the objective is to get rid as soon as possible
by putting its cards on the table combinations. The first one who has no cards in
hand is the winner of the round.
We play with two, three or four sets of 52 cards based on the number of players
(two games to four players or less, three games to five or six players, four games
to 7 or 8 players).
The dealer deals 14 cards each and ask the rest of the pile as a pick, then we play
in turn.
When it's your turn:
Your tour begins by drawing a card from the deck or the discard pile
Then you can ask new combinations on the table, or supplement existing ones (see
below)
Then your turn ends by discarding a card from your hand into the muck.
You do not have to keep a card for the discard pile if you finish the round (playing
all your cards).
When you have three or fewer cards, you must announce it so your opponents beware
(this is automatic at the show)
Combinations
The main engine of the game is to train and supplement combinations on the table.
THERE are two main types: suites and groups.
Each combination put you points depending on the maps that comprise it. By cons,
once a combination on the table, it is no longer yours and any player with the appropriate
maps can complete it.
Complete a combination of adding one or more cards at the beginning or end of an
existing combination.
It also reports points.
Suites
A suite is a combination of at least three consecutive cards of the same color.
For example, 9, 10 and jack of spades. An ace can either follow or precede a king
2. The suites queen, king, ace and ace, 2, 3 are both accepted.
Groups
A group is a set of at least three cards of the same color but different. Each
color can be represented only once a group, they are limited to no more than four
cards. For example, 3 of Hearts, 3 of spades and 3 of clubs.
It is sometimes said of a group containing four cards it is closed, that is to say
that it is not possible to complete. ON trips sometimes meets the terms and square
from the poker to denote respectively the groups of 3 or 4 cards.
Jokers
The Joker is white or a special card that can replace any other card. ON can be
used to form a sequence or group of which you do not have the third card otherwise
needed to ask, but you can not use it to supplement an existing combination.
Once placed on the table is identical to a wild card it replaces.
He who possesses the card equivalent to the wildcard can recovered and put his card
instead. The joker so recovered must always be replayed in the same round to form
a new combination. IT can then replace any other card as before.
If the player who has taken a wildcard did not replayed immediately, then he incurs
a penalty of 200 points.
A joker can be recovered only if there is no ambiguity on the card it replaces.
For example, Alice asks the following queen of spades, king of spades and joker.
If Bob has the ace of spades, he can take the wildcard. If in his hand he had a
7 of hearts and 7 of diamonds, it can then form a new group with these three cards.
If Cedric now has a 7 of Clubs, he can not take the wild card immediately as there
is an ambiguity (the wild card can either replace or 7 of Clubs 7 of Spades).
IT may just put his 7 of clubs to complete the group.
IT was not until the 7 of spades in order to actually take the wildcard.
Discarding
The discard pile is the pile of cards that the players decide to throw at the end
of turn. When the deck is exhausted, shuffle the discard pile to form a new battery.
In the most common variants of rummy at the beginning of his turn, a player may
decide to take the first card of the discard pile (the one that was most recently
cast) instead of drawing.
IT is normally used in this case the map from the discard pile immediately to supplement
or create a new combination, although this is not a strict requirement.
There are several different game variations with respect to the discard pile:
No discards: there is no discard at all, and players do not even have to throw cards
at the end of turn.
Discard one way: you have to throw a card to the discard pile at the end of turn,
but we do not offer the opportunity to recover what is there. In other words, the
discarded cards to become available only when the deck needs to be remixed.
Discard simple: it is the most common variant, which allows a player to take the
first card of the discard pile if he can play with immediately.
Discard multiple: in this variant, a player may take several cards from the discard
pile if they wish. If it is a particular card, it must also take all the cards that
precede it in the order of arrival.
First pose
The first installation consists of one or more combinations whose value is at least
a number of points, from 30 to 50 depending on the variant.
Until it is not possible to ask for enough combinations in the same turn to get
to that total, it is not possible to intervene effectively in the game by completing
combinations of already existing.
It is also illegal to use in the discard pile instead of drawing.
Thus, early in the game, we can only draw and discard until they could make his
first pose. We often speak of going into the game
when performing this initial fitting, because after that these restrictions are
removed and you can ask and complete as many combinations as you want.
Scoring
Each card placed in a new combination or as part of a supplement is worth a certain
number of points to its owner. However, once a card is on the table, it does not
belong to anyone.
Points are traditionally counted bottom of the inning, and we use different methods
to find who asked what card.
At the show, everything is automatically recorded in the As (points are earned
immediately after asking).
The cards from 2 to 9 are worth 5 points
On 10 and figurs worth 10 points
The ace is worth 5 points if it precedes a 2 and 15 points if it follows a king.
In a group, an ace is always 15 points.
A joker is not worth any points.
At the end of a round, the winner also gets all the points corresponding to the
cards that his opponents were still in hand. In this case, a joker is worth 20 points
and still have a 15.
100 bonus points are awarded if the winner ends the round when no other player has
asked anything.
If the winner comes in and puts his entire hand at once and all in the same turn,
they say he is rummy and gets a bonus of 200 points.
If he does so using only his own game, that is to say without complete combinations
already laid, then this bonus increases to 300 points.
This bonus is cumulative with the previous one! Therefore if a player rummy while
no one asked, he can earn a bonus of 300 or 400 points.
