How to play

1. 1Join a Points, Pool, or Deals table and wait for the deal.
2. 2Each player receives 13 cards from the shared decks.
3. 3On your turn, draw from the closed deck or the open discard pile.
4. 4Discard one card to end your turn.
5. 5Build at least one pure sequence (same suit, consecutive, no joker).
6. 6Finish the rest of your hand as sequences and sets.
7. 7Declare only when every group is legal under the table rules.
8. 8If someone else declares first, unmatched cards become penalty points.

Example

Sample idea: you hold 5♥ 6♥ 7♥ (pure sequence), 9♠ 9♦ 9♣ (set), and 2♣ 3♣ Joker (impure sequence). After the remaining cards are grouped legally, you can declare. If you still hold a lone King, that King becomes deadwood if someone else declares first.

Rules & scoring

A pure sequence is three or more consecutive same-suit cards with no joker.

An impure sequence may use a joker. A set is three or four of the same rank in different suits.

Printed and wild jokers follow the table sheet — they help impure groups, not a pure sequence.

Unmatched cards add penalty points when another player declares. Face cards and Aces usually cost more.

First drop / middle drop penalties are table-specific; read the room sheet before you drop.

How it compares

Compared with Teen Patti, Indian Rummy is about building groups over many turns, not a three-card showdown. Compared with Marriage Rummy, this page is the classic 13-card deal.
