3. Game Logic
* Element of Elimination makes the
Pool Rummy more competitive than
other forms.
* DeccanRummy offers 2 variants of
Pool Rummy - 101 points & 201
points.
* When a player loses a game, his
losing points are carried to the next
round.

4. * A player gets eliminated when his
points reaches the limit defined
(101 or 201).
* The player who is left at the end of
the games is declared winner.

5. 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.

6. 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.

7. * 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.

8. 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.

9. 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.

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

11. 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.

12. ● 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.

13. ● Disconnection Scenario : If a
player gets disconnected, they are
dropped from the game and get 40
points in both 101 & 201 pool.
● Missed Turns : If a player misses
3 consecutive turns, he/she is
dropped from the game. This means
that this player gets 40 points in
both 101 & 201 pool.

14. 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.

15. 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.

16. 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

17. 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.

18. Winnings = (Entry Fees X Number
of Players) – DeccanRummy Fees
* Five players play Pool Rummy
and a player comes out as the
winner.
* Now the winning player wins all
the entry fee deposited by the
players.

19. * If the four players deposited Rs. 50
each, the winner’s cash amount will be
calculated as: 4 x 50 = Rs. 200 –
DeccanRummy Fees.
FYI - DeccanRummy has the Lowest fee
among all Online Indian Rummy sites :)
