01 · Start with 13 cards
In 13-card rummy, each player begins with 13 cards. On your turn, draw a card and discard one. Your aim is to organise the hand into valid sequences and sets.
02 · What is a pure sequence?
A sequence contains at least three consecutive cards of the same suit. A pure sequence does not use a joker as a substitute for a missing card. For example, 5♥ 6♥ 7♥ form a pure sequence.
03 · What is a set?
A set groups cards of the same rank in different suits, such as 8♠ 8♥ 8♣. Check the in-app rules for permitted group sizes, joker use and duplicate-card restrictions.
04 · Check your declaration
A standard 13-card rummy declaration requires at least two sequences, including one pure sequence, with the remaining cards in valid groups. The app’s displayed rules take priority for its specific format, scoring, joker rules and penalties.
