How to play rummy online
The aim of rummy is to get rid of all your cards before your opponent does.
Cards are dealt one at a time, face down beginning at the dealer's left. The dealer deals 12 cards face down to each player, places the remainder of the pack face down in the middle, and places the top card from the stock pile face up next to it. Play starts with the player to the dealer's left and proceeds clockwise.
- Rummy is a card game that is played with two decks of cards with total of two Jokers. To win the rummy game a player must make a valid declaration by picking and discarding cards from the two piles given. One pile is a closed deck, where a player is unable to see the card that he is picking, while the other is an open deck that is formed by the cards discarded by the players.
- Once a player has disposed of all of their cards, the other player's cards are scored. Scoring: Face card: 10 points. Ace: 1 point. All others: face value (4 = 4 points, 9 = 9 points, etc.) Hands will continue to be dealt until one of the players reaches 100 points. The first player to reach 100 points loses the rummy game.

You dispose of cards by building melds which are made up of sets, three or four of a kind and the same rank; or runs, three or more cards in sequence and same suit.
An example set is the 7 of diamonds, 7 of hearts and 7 of spades.
An example run is the 4 of clubs, 5 of clubs and 6 of clubs.
When you have built a set or run it will automatically be taken from your hand and placed on the table.
Cards can also be added to the sets and runs which have already been laid down, this is called laying off.
You end your turn by discarding one card from your hand onto the discard pile.
