13-card Rummy is the classic Indian Rummy variant: four players, each dealt 13 cards from a 106-card double deck (two standard decks plus two printed jokers), with one face-up card naming the wild joker. Each turn you draw one card — from the closed stock or the discard pile — and discard another. The goal is to arrange all 13 cards into at least two sequences, one of which must be pure. The first player to declare a valid arrangement wins the deal; everyone else is charged penalty points for their leftover cards, capped at 80.
Play now — it's freeThe game uses 106 cards: two full 52-card decks plus two printed jokers, so every card exists twice at the table.
Four players, each playing for themselves (no partnerships). Each player receives 13 cards; one card is then flipped face-up to define the wild joker, one card opens the discard pile, and the rest forms the face-down stock.
Arrange your 13 cards entirely into valid groups: at least two sequences, one of which must be a pure sequence with no jokers. The second sequence, and everything else, can be more sequences or sets.
When your arrangement is complete (13 cards plus the 14th you just drew), declare: set the extra card aside and lay out the remaining 13 in their groups. A valid arrangement wins the deal on the spot.
Play moves clockwise. On your turn, draw exactly one card — either the top of the face-down stock or the top card of the discard pile.
You now hold 14 cards, so discard one back onto the discard pile to return to 13. Alternatively, declare if your arrangement is complete: hide the 14th card and show the other 13.
Each move runs on a timer: 15 seconds to draw and 22 seconds to discard. If your time runs out, a safe default action is played for you (draw from the stock, then discard) so the table never stalls.
If the stock ever runs dry, the discard pile is reshuffled — except its top card — into a fresh stock, so the deal always continues.
Pure sequence: 3 or more consecutive cards of the same suit with no jokers. The Ace plays both ends — A-2-3 and Q-K-A are valid, but K-A-2 wraps around and is not.
Sequence: a same-suit run whose gaps are filled with jokers. Set: 3 or 4 cards of the same rank in different suits, with jokers filling the missing cards.
Jokers may join any sequence or set, but they can never create a pure sequence — which is exactly why you must build at least one pure sequence from natural cards.
Note: a wild card can also be used at its natural face value inside a pure sequence (a wild 7 counted as a real 7), so it scores zero and does double duty.
The double deck contains two printed jokers, and both are wild without exception.
Before each deal one card is flipped face-up to name the wild joker: every card of that rank and matching color (red or black) becomes wild. With two decks in play, that is four extra wild cards.
Special case: if the flipped card is itself a printed joker, all Aces in play — every suit — become wild.
All wild cards are worth zero points at scoring, whether they sit in a group or stay stranded in your hand.
The winner scores zero. Every other player is charged points for the cards left in hand:
| Card | Penalty points |
|---|---|
| Ace / K / Q / J | 10 each |
| 2 – 10 | Face value |
| Printed or wild joker | 0 |
If your hand contains at least one pure sequence, you are charged only for your deadwood — the cards that fit into no sequence or set; wild cards count zero.
Without a pure sequence, your entire hand is charged at full value — which is why locking in the pure sequence first is the single most important move in the game.
Penalties are capped at 80 points per deal: however heavy your hand, you never pay more than 80.
Stall protection: if the table reaches its draw limit (100 draws in total), the deal is force-settled and the player with the lowest penalty points takes first place.
Hunt the pure sequence first — without one you pay for your whole hand whenever an opponent declares.
Do not hold high cards (A, K, Q, J) without a clear home: each stranded one costs 10 penalty points.
Read the flipped card immediately: knowing the wild rank tells you which of your cards are jokers in disguise and which discards are cheap for opponents to pick up.
Spend jokers completing your second sequence or sets instead of scattering them across half-finished groups.
Watch the discard pile: what an opponent discards rarely helps their hand, and it maps their direction for you.
Each player is dealt 13 cards from a 106-card double deck: two 52-card decks plus two printed jokers.
Four players at one table, each playing for themselves — no teams or partnerships.
Three or more consecutive cards of the same suit with no jokers. The Ace works at both ends (A-2-3 or Q-K-A); K-A-2 wraps around and is invalid.
A card flipped face-up before the deal; every card of that rank and matching color becomes wild (four cards across two decks). If the flipped card is a printed joker, all Aces become wild.
Draw your 14th card, then declare: set one card aside and show 13 arranged in at least two sequences with at least one pure sequence, the rest in valid sequences or sets.
The value of your leftover cards: A, K, Q and J are 10 each, numbers at face value, jokers zero. Without a pure sequence you pay for the whole hand, capped at 80 points.
When the draw limit is reached the deal is force-settled, and players are ranked by their penalty points — the lowest hand takes first place.
