Here are some of the basic rules of Indian rummy that you must know:
As per Indian Rummy rules, the game is played between 2 to 6 players with one or two standard decks of cards (depending on the players at the table) along with the printed Joker cards.
Thirteen cards are dealt to each player at the start of the game. The remaining cards are kept face down on the table (closed deck) with the top card placed face up (this becomes the discard pile/open deck).
One random card from the deck is selected as the Wild Joker. All cards of that same face value can also be used as Wild Jokers.
Players pick one card from the closed or open deck and discard one card to the discard pile.
According to the rummy rules, players need to arrange all the cards in their hand to form at least one pure sequence and other valid sequences/sets.
Once a player has at least one pure sequence and other valid sequence/sets by grouping their 13 cards, they need to make a declaration.
The first player to make a valid declaration wins the game! Click here to learn how to play Rummy.
