How to play Rummy 500:
In the beginning, each player is dealt any odd number of cards. This is the dealer’s choice. 7-13 cards is ideal, but the game gets particularly interesting the more or less cards that are dealt. The remaining cards are placed face down on one side of the table in a pile. With one card being left face up beside that pile. We’ll refer to that pile as the discard pile.
- The first player draws a card from one of the piles – the face down pile or the discard pile. If there is more than one card in the discard pile, the player can take one or more cards from this pile, starting with the card below, which can be joined or added.
- With each turn, the player must both draw a card and place a card into the discard pile.
- After drawing a card, the player can place a set of cards on the table to earn points if they have completed a set of 3.
- Additionally, a player can add a card to a group or set of cards that another player has placed on the table.
- The player must dispose of a card in the discard pile. Cards drawn from the current turn cannot be discarded until the next turn.
Note: if a player takes a group of cards from the discard pile, the player MUST use the bottom card that was picked up to complete a set during the same turn. If the last card cannot be added to a set or group, it cannot be taken from the pile.
When the first player discards of their final card, the game is over. Each player must then sum up the value of the card that remain in their hands. Players who still have cards in their hand must subtract the total of what’s in their hand from what’s on the table.

How to play rummy online
The aim of rummy is to get rid of all your cards before your opponent does.
One standard deck of 52 cards is used for classic rummy. Cards rank from low to high: Ace 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Jack Queen King
Start your turn by drawing a card from the top of the stock pile or the discard pile.
You dispose of cards by building melds which are made up of sets, three or four of a kind and the same rank; or runs, three or more cards in sequence and same suit.
An example set is the 7 of diamonds, 7 of hearts and 7 of spades.
An example run is the 4 of clubs, 5 of clubs and 6 of clubs.
When you have built a set or run it will automatically be taken from your hand and placed on the table.
Cards can also be added to the sets and runs which have already been laid down, this is called laying off.
You end your turn by discarding one card from your hand onto the discard pile.
Once a player has disposed of all of their cards, the other player's cards are scored.
Scoring:
Face card: 10 points
Ace: 1 point
All others: face value (4 = 4 points, 9 = 9 points, etc.)
Hands will continue to be dealt until one of the players reaches 100 points. The first player to reach 100 points loses the rummy game.
