Rules of Indian Rummy
● You need 2 decks to play Indian Rummy online. A single deck is used with a printed Joker in the case of two players, and 2 decks are used for more than 2 players, including two printed Jokers.
● Indian Rummy Toss – The two decks are shuffled without bias and laid out on the table. Every player is supposed to pick a card. The player who picks the card with the highest value (Ace, King, Queen, Jack, etc in descending order) has the first move, and the player who picks the lowest value card distributes 13 cards to every player. After the toss, the players are seated in the order they picked the card, and after dealing 13 cards to every player, the rest of the cards become the open deck. Two cards are drawn; one becomes the open card, and the other becomes a Joker card.
● The objective of the game is to create valid sequences and sets out of the 13 cards dealt with every player. Whoever does this first wins. Except for the winner, the value of every deadwood card of the other players is summed and the ranking takes place in ascending order; the player with the lowest value places 2nd and so on, and so forth.
● Every player is required to form the following with his or her cards: A pure sequence of the same suit (without the joker) such as Ace, King, Queen, and Jack. The second would be a sequence of the same suit (it may or may not contain the Joker) with at least 3 cards. Lastly, two sets of any suit but the same value (Queen, Queen, and Queen). The first player to meet these requirements wins the game and the cash prize.
