Game Rules

1. The Goal: Form valid card combinations – sets (three or four cards of the same rank) and runs (three or more consecutive cards of the same suit). The first player to arrange all their cards into valid combinations and "declare" wins the round.

2. The Deck: A standard 52-card deck is used. The number of cards dealt varies depending on the Rummy variant (typically 10 cards per player in 2- or 4-player games).

3. Core Gameplay:

• Your Turn: Draw a card from either the deck or the discard pile, then discard a card.
• Building Combinations: Create sets (e.g., 7♠7♣7♦) and runs (e.g., 3♣ 4♣ 5♣).
• Declaring Victory: When you've arranged all your cards into valid sets and runs, declare your win!

4. Knocking (Certain Variants): In games like Gin Rummy, you can "knock" when your hand's deadwood (unmatched cards) totals less than 10 points.

5. Scoring:

• Winning a Round: A successful declaration earns points based on your opponents' remaining cards.
• Deadwood: Unmatched cards are deadwood, adding to your opponents' scores.

6. Rounds and Point Totals: The game proceeds over multiple rounds. Points are tallied based on opponents' deadwood, continuing until a predetermined score (usually 100 or 500 points) is reached.

How to Play

1. Getting Started:

• Log in to Rummy Cafe and select a game mode (solo, versus AI, or with friends).
• Choose your preferred Rummy variant (Gin Rummy, Points Rummy, Indian Rummy, etc.).
• Join a game room or create a private game.

2. Gameplay Mechanics:

• Drawing: Draw a card on your turn.
• Making Moves: Form sets and runs, rearranging cards as needed.
• Discarding: End your turn by discarding a card.
• Declaring or Knocking: Declare to win if your hand is complete, or knock (if applicable) with low deadwood.

3. Winning a Round: After a declaration, players reveal their hands. The player with the best combinations wins, gaining points based on opponents' deadwood.

4. Winning the Game: Play continues until a player reaches the target score. The player with the highest total score wins the game.

Tips for Success

1. Prioritize Runs: Runs often offer more flexibility than sets. Aim to build runs early.

2. Observe the Discard Pile: Pay close attention to your opponents' discards to anticipate their strategies.

3. Strategic Knocking: In Gin Rummy, a well-timed knock can be advantageous.

4. Minimize Deadwood: Keep your unmatched cards to a minimum.

5. Employ Bluffing: Strategic moves can mislead opponents and give you an edge.
