Why Play Only One Variant Of 13 Cards Rummy When You Can Play Nine?
Posted: Mar 19, 2014
The fact is not many people do not know this but the word or name "rummy" does not actually mean a single game. Actually rummy is the name given to a group of games that all come under a similar mode of game play. Having said that Indian rummy is one of the game variants that falls under this category. But does this mean that Indian rummy is just one game? Actually Indian rummy or 13 cards rummy as it is known in many places, is not just a single variant but a cluster of about 9 or more variants!
Here we will tell you something about each variant and you will realize that by not playing all of them and concentrating only one or even a few, you are missing out on a lot of rummy game fun.
Here we go:
Plain rummy or pool rummy: Again we talk of pool rummy we are talking about not one but three sub-variants. In simple pool rummy you will find variants like a game of 101 points or a game of 201 points or a best of three games option. This is a game that is simple and also essential to learn if you want to have a grasp on all aspects of the rummy game rules.
Points rummy: This is a quick and intense variant that is played on a game to game basis. That is, there is a point value for each point, you join the game with 80 multiplied by the point value. When the game is over the winner gets the points of all the losing players. The whole deal is sealed and accounts settled at the end of each game. A player may quit if he or she feels like it once the points are settled. This again has two options like the one with joker and the other option without jokers.
Deals rummy: In this variant you have the same number of players as the number of deals played. That means that in the two options available in this section, the best of six deals will have six deals and six players. And the option with best of two deals will have two players and two deals. The points are added up to the winning player's score at the end of each win and two winners are declared in the six deal option and one in the two deal option.
Rummy tournaments: This is an exciting option with multiple tables and multiple players taking part. The leader board of the game keeps changing, which adds to the excitement of the game. Usually in tournaments the prize money is distributed as per ranking to a number of winners as decided before the start of the rummy tournament.
