Simple rules and table etiquette for rummy app sessions.
Objective of the Game

Key terms
- Pure sequence: consecutive cards of the same suit with no joker.
- Impure sequence: includes a joker as a substitute.
- Set: three or four cards of the same rank.
Turn Flow
Each turn follows a draw, meld, and discard cycle.
Arrange
Group cards into sequences and sets while tracking joker use.
Discard
Drop one card to end your turn and update the open pile.
Valid Declaration Checklist
Confirm these points before tapping declare in the rummy app.
- At least one pure sequence is mandatory.
- All remaining cards form valid sets or sequences.
- Jokers replace missing cards only within impure sequences.
- Verify your count before the timer ends.

Respect timers
Stay active during your turn so you do not trigger auto-play.
Play within limits
Set time and spend limits that match your comfort level.
Know the rules
