Points Rummy is a simple variant of Rummy where each game lasts for one deal and the player with the lowest score at the end of the game wins all points. The objective is to arrange cards into valid sequences and sets. Players take turns drawing and discarding cards until someone declares by grouping their cards. Losing players score points according to the cards left in their hands. The winner collects the total points lost by all other players multiplied by the point value.

2. 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 :)

3. 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.

4. 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.

5. * 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

6. 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.

7. Caution :
With two decks, you cannot use the
same card twice in a set. For
instance - 5 5♠ ♠ 5♥ is not a valid
set.

8. Declare:
* Discard one of the cards in the
finish slot.
* Click on the 'Declare' button.
* Group and declare your sets and
sequences.

9. 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.

10. ● 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.
●

11. 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.

12. Scoring Pattern
1. 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.

13. 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.

14. 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 = 80

15. 4. 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.

16. 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.

17. * 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.

fee among all Online Indian Rummy
sites :)
