How to play Indian Rummy

  1. Draw from the closed deck or the open pile, then discard. Open jokers cannot be picked up. Organise the thirteen remaining cards into groups and declare by selecting a final discard. You need at least two sequences, including one pure sequence; every card must belong to a valid group.
  2. Sequences have at least three cards of the same suit in order. Ace may be low or high, never wrap. Pure sequences have no substitutes, but a wild-rank card in its natural position is allowed. Other sequences can use jokers. Sets contain three or four equal ranks with different suits; duplicate suits from the two decks are not allowed.
  3. Invalid declarations are rejected with an explanation, without a penalty or ending your turn. Dropping before your first draw costs 20; later costs 40. On a valid declaration, unmatched points are capped at 80: face cards and aces 10, others face value, jokers zero. Without a pure sequence all non-joker cards count; without two sequences only the pure sequence is exempt. First valid declaration wins; penalties score the other hands.

Tips for your first game

Keep your private cards to yourself. Select cards in the order you want to group them. Check the highlighted choices before confirming a move.

What to know before you start

An independent Boardroom edition with original artwork and rules wording. Similar to 13-card Rummy; not an official edition or affiliated with its publisher. Play with real friends; practice bots are not available. Replay or switch games without leaving the room and voice. Closing the tab preserves your seat; explicitly leaving closes the match.

Create a room, share the invitation and wait for your guests. They only need a display name to join. Public waiting rooms may appear in the game's room directory; Draw & Guess and Word Impostor are invite-only by default unless the host enables listing.

Can I play Indian Rummy with friends on my phone?

Yes. Share your room code, let everyone ready up, and start. The board, hand and social tabs fit the screen. Cards stay private, and voice chat is optional.

Do I need an app or an account?

No. Open the room link in a modern browser on your phone or computer. The games are free to play without sign-up. Optional voice chat asks for microphone permission; you can keep playing without joining voice.
