Each deck of cards will have 52 cards, with a set of four su9its, namely, clubs, diamonds, hearts, spades and a face joker. If you are in a table with5 or more players, you will need to play this game with 2 decks, a total of 104 cards.

Understanding the gameplay

Now that you know the basics of what the game entails, it is time to learn how you should play it. Before the game starts, both the decks will get shuffled and placed on the table. Each player will then have to pick one card from the deck, helping decide who picks the first card and who discards. This is equivalent to a toss in the game. The player with the highest value pick will get to play the opening card and the one with the lowest will deal out 13 cards to each. The players will then set in a circle, based on the value of the card they first picked during the toss. Apart from the 13 cards dealt, the rest will be kept on the table. Two cards will be picked out randomly, out of which one becomes the joker card and the other is an open card.

The main objective of the game is to make valid sets out of the 13 cards in hand. Once the distribution is complete, the rest of the cards will be shuffled and placed face down on the table. After this each player will have to make sequences or sets according to their cards in hand.

• Life 1:

Each player should have at least three cards in order. The first life is called a pure sequence and cannot contain any wild card or joker.

• Life 2:

The second life is called an impure sequence in which you will still need to have three cards of the same suit, but you can also include a joker or wild card.

• Set1 and 2:

A set is basically a triplet of the same value card, but can be in different suits. However, here you cannot include the joker.

These rules can help you better your Indian Rummy skills.
