What's Different About India Rummy?

India Rummy is a version of Rummy in its own right, also known as 13 Card Rummy or Sequence. Very similar to standard Rummy, you're most likely to find anywhere between two and six players in a game who will be playing with 13 card hands delivered from two decks. Jokers are included and count as wild cards.

What Skills Are Required?

Obviously the most important factor in winning at Rummy is the same as for any other games of skill such as poker -a thorough understanding of the Rummy rules and how hands rank and score.

For a thorough understanding of rummy rules it's worth paying a visit to the RummyCircle site - a place where you can play 13 Card Indian Rummy with friends in public or private rooms.

But at high level, here are some bullet points on how to play:

• A hand of 13 cards is dealt to each player in the game at random
• You arrange all 13 cards in your hand in sequences and/or sets.
• Every player picks/discards a card from the closed/open deck to complete sets and/or sequences turn by turn.
• The winning player needs to group two sets of or sequences to declare
• In order to finish the game, the player needs to declare at least two sequences, of which one must be a pure sequence (no joker).

Skill in general is required to play successfully. In fact, the game has been declared by Indian courts of law to be based on skill - which removes it from Indian laws which prohibit online betting or gambling. For this reason you can expect to see Rummy become even more popular over coming years.
