DeccanRummy How to play Points
Rummy?
Points Rummy is the fastest, simplest variant of Rummy where players play for points with pre-decided rupee value.
Fastest because each game lasts for 1 deal only.Simplest because one winner wins all the cash at the end of each game.
@DeccanRummy it is all the more easier and simpler :)
Objective
Arrange all 13 cards in-hand in sequences and/or sets. The cards in hand are arranged to form at least two sequences, out of which one has to be a pure sequence. The other remaining cards can be arranged in valid sequences and/or sets.
Gameplay
* Random toss decides the player who will make the first move.* Wild Joker is randomly selected and 13 cards are dealt to each player.* First card from the pack is placed in the open deck.* Remaining cards are placed face-down.* Each player takes turns to pick/discard a card from closed/open deck to complete sets and/or sequences
Note: In case a Printed Joker is selected as joker, then Ace card of any suit is used as a joker in their sets / sequences.Must : To finish the game, you must declare at least two sequences, one of which must be a pure sequence.Caution : With two decks, you cannot use the same card twice in a set. For instance - 5♠ 5♠ 5♥ is not a valid set.
Declare: * Discard one of the cards in the finish slot.* Click on the 'Declare' button.* Group and declare your sets and sequences.
Drop: * Each player gets an option to drop the game in their turn, throughout the game duration.* To avail the Drop option, the player must not have picked a card from open/closed deck in that turn.
● First Drop : If a player drops the game in their very first turn, they get 20 points.
● Middle Drop : If a player drops the game in a turn other than the first, they get 40 points.
● Missed Turns : If a player misses 3 consecutive turns, he/she is dropped from the game. This means that this player gets 40 points.
● Disconnection Scenario : If a player gets disconnected, they are dropped from the game and get 40 points.
Scoring Pattern1. Each card carries a certain number of points. The losing player gets points equal to their hand score :● J, Q, K, A of any suit carry 10 points each.● Numbered cards carry the same points as their value.● Joker cards carry zero points.2. At the end of the game, a losing player's hand score is computed by adding points for cards that are not grouped as sets/sequences with the following exceptions.● If there are no pure sequence, all cards are counted.● If the loser does not have two sequences, but has a
pure sequence, only the pure sequence is not counted.
3. Full count : Maximum points that a player can get in one game is 80. Considering HS - Hand Score | PTs - Points.* If HS<80 then PTs = HS* If HS>=80 then PTs = 804. Special Case 1 : If the losing player has not had his first turn before the opponent has made a valid declaration, then they get 20 points.5. Special Case 2 : If a player declares without meeting the game objective, they get 80 points and the game continues till there is a winner.
Winnings = (Total points of all losing players X Point value) – DeccanRummy Fees
* Five players play on ‘Rs. 5 per point’ table and a player declares the game and wins all the cash lost by other players. * If the four players lose with 10,20,30,and 40 points respectively, the winner’s cash amount will be calculated as: 5 x (10 + 20 + 30 + 40) = Rs. 500 – DeccanRummy Fees.FYI - DeccanRummy has the Lowest fee among all Online Indian Rummy sites :)
