What is Indian Rummy?

Indian Rummy is a 13-card game where players form valid sequences and sets. The goal is to arrange all 13 cards into at least two sequences, one of which must be a pure sequence (no joker).

Sets

A set is three or four cards of the same rank but different suits, e.g., K♠ K♥ K♦. Jokers can be used in sets.

13 Card Rummy Scoring

Points are calculated based on unarranged cards. Face cards (K, Q, J, A) carry 10 points each; number cards carry their face value.
