Indian Rummy is a casual card-matching offline rummy game offered by Yarsa Games. It is an Indian rummy card game played between a minimum of two and a maximum of five players. It is a card game involving 13 cards where players aim to make a valid show using different combinations and sets. Here’s a quick short guide to help you get started.

Gameplay

The game starts with choosing the number of players and the number of decks. You can play it with a minimum of two players and a maximum of five. For your match, you can either play with one deck of cards or two depending on your style and practice. 

After choosing the number of players and decks, the game starts, and cards are shuffled and distributed to all the players on the board. To play efficiently, you’ll have to make Sequences, Life, and Set. 

Every card has a point value. For example, cards with faces or King, Queen, and Joker have a point value of 10. The remaining cards, which are Ace, One, Two, Three, Four, Five, Six, Seven, Eight, Nine, and Ten have a point value to their face value. Each card holds the value that will help you in winning the matches.

Rules

Forming a Sequence. A sequence is a group of three or more cards arranged in consecutive order from the same suit. We can make two sequences, pure and impure. To win a match, we need to create at least one sequence. 

A Pure Sequence is the formation of a group of three or more cards of the same suit arranged well in consecutive order without using any joker or adding any wild card. Here the first pure sequence would be termed “First Life”.

An Impure Sequence is the formation of a group of three or more cards arranged in a consecutive order of the same suit using one or more joker. The second created sequence, whether pure or impure, would be termed “Second Life”.

Creating a Set. We need to make a set to make our win and play efficiently. A set is a group of three or more cards of the same order but of different suits arranged together. Like, arranging all four Aces. A set is valid and will be taken as a fair move only if there is a first life.

Now, there comes your turn to show your cards. When showing your cards or making your final move, ensure there is a  First Life, Second Life, Impure Sequence, and a Set. You can show your cards in the end by arranging them properly.

Some Customization

To make your game more exciting and spice it up, you can experiment with the type of cards and the deck’s colour and change the theme colour of your game’s home screen.
