Experience the thrill of Rummy 500, the classic card game now available offline! This engaging variation of Rummy, also known as Persian Rummy, Pinochle Rummy, 500 Rum, or 500 Rummy, offers a unique twist on traditional gameplay. Unlike standard Rummy, players can draw multiple cards from the discard pile, adding a strategic layer to each round.
Rummy 500 scoring involves earning points for melded cards and deducting points for unmelded cards (deadwood) remaining in your hand at the end of a round. The first player to reach 500 points wins, with ties resolved through a playoff.
Key Gameplay Rules:
- Players: 2-4 players.
- Deck: Standard 52-card deck plus jokers.
- Starting Hand: 7 cards per player.
- Objective: Reach 500 points first.
- Melds: Create sets (3-4 cards of the same rank) and sequences (3 or more cards of the same suit in order).
- Turns: Draw a card, meld/build, discard.
- Jokers: Wild cards, usable as any card.
- Discard Pile: Draw one or more cards, but must use the last discarded card immediately in a meld.
- Scoring: Royalty cards (J, Q, K) are 10 points each. Aces are 11 points in a meld, but incur a 15-point penalty if held at the end of a round. Jokers take the value of the card they replace, plus a 15-point penalty if held.
- Winning: The first player to reach or exceed 500 points wins. Ties are broken with a playoff.
