The classical Indian Rummy game is a card game in India that has a very little variation from the original rummy that involves making valid sequences and sets out of 13 cards. Initially each player is dealt 13 cards. Each player has to draw and discard cards by turns until one player mends all of his/ her cards with valid sets to meet the validation rules. In this game, two kinds of sets are possible – a run of consecutive suited cards and three or four of a kind with no duplicate suits. To win a hand, the basic requirement is to arrange at least two sequences, one of which must be without any jokers.

The Game
Indian Rummy is similar to the standard Rummy game. The only difference being the number of cards dealt: a set of 13 cards is dealt to each player. Every player discards a card from the open/ closed deck to complete sets or sequences in a clockwise turn of action. The player needs to show the cards in his/ her hand by grouping them in sequences and/or sets to declare the game. The game ends once either player discards a card to the finish stack. The player will have to arrange the cards and then place them on the table to show their hands to other players.
If the player’s hand meets the objective, then he is declared as the winner. To conclude the game, the points held by the losing players’ unmatched cards are counted. With several classical Indian rummy games available online, it has become easy for players to play this game and earn legal cash.
