1. Gameplay & Format
Indian Rummy (13-card variant) is the dominant format. Each player receives 13 cards, and the goal is to form valid sets and sequences.
Common modes include:
Points Rummy – fast-paced, each round has a monetary value per point.
Pool Rummy – players contribute to a pool; elimination occurs when a points threshold is crossed.
Deals Rummy – fixed number of deals, winner is determined by cumulative score.
Skill vs. Luck: Unlike Teen Patti (which is probability-driven), Rummy is legally recognized as a game of skill in India, meaning players rely on memory, calculation, and strategy.
