Game Rules

1. The Goal: Form sets (three or four cards of the same rank) and runs (three or more consecutive cards of the same suit). The first player to arrange all their cards into valid combinations and "declare" wins the round.

2. The Deck: A standard 52-card deck is used. The number of cards dealt per player varies depending on the Rummy variant (often 10 cards in 2- or 4-player games).

3. Gameplay Basics:

• Your Turn: Draw a card from the deck or discard pile, then discard a card.
• Building Sets & Runs: Create sets (e.g., 7♠7♣7♦) and runs (e.g., 3♣4♣5♣).
• Declaring Victory: Declare when you've arranged all your cards into valid combinations.

4. Knocking (Gin Rummy): In Gin Rummy, you can "knock" when your deadwood (unmatched cards) totals less than 10 points.

5. Scoring:

• Winning a Round: A successful declaration earns points based on your opponents' remaining deadwood.
• Deadwood: Unmatched cards are deadwood and add to your opponents' scores.

6. Rounds & Points: The game unfolds over multiple rounds, with points accumulating until a predetermined score (often 100 or 500 points) is reached.

How to Play

1. Getting Started:

• Log in to Rummy Cafe.
• Choose a game mode (solo, against AI, or with friends).
• Select your preferred Rummy variant.
• Join a game room or create a private game.

2. Game Mechanics:

• Draw a Card: Begin your turn by drawing a card.
• Make Your Moves: Form sets and runs, rearranging cards as needed.
• Discard a Card: End your turn by discarding a card.
• Declare or Knock: Declare victory with a complete hand or knock in Gin Rummy with low deadwood.

3. Winning a Round: After a declaration, players reveal their hands. The player with the best combinations wins and earns points.

4. Winning the Game: Play continues until a player reaches the target score.

Tips and Strategies

1. Prioritize Runs: Runs are generally easier to form and offer more strategic flexibility.

2. Observe the Discard Pile: Analyze your opponents' discards to anticipate their strategies.

3. Strategic Knocking: In Gin Rummy, a well-timed knock can be advantageous.

4. Minimize Deadwood: Keep your unmatched cards to a minimum.

5. Employ Bluffing: Deceptive gameplay can throw off opponents and improve your odds.
