I am a hospice aide and recently got a patient that is very independent when it comes to personal care and things so I am really just around for basic company. He recently told me that him and his wife used to play rummy every night. I have never played and watched this video probably three times and it was super easy to understand and extremely helpful! I am confident in my ability to be able to play this game with him and make his heart Happy! Thank you.
In a similar situation some time ago she was not in good shape but wanted to play and taught me the game. Some of my fondest memories caregiving with her, and she cheated too! I finally have a new person who likes to play cards so I'm here to refresh my memory.
I've been taught to play with a fanned out discard pile. You can take any card from the discard pile. You have to not only play the card taken during your turn, but you also have to take every card on top as well and add it to your hand. We also do points differently. Cards you play are counted towards your score. 2-9 (5 points), 10-K (10 points), Ace (15 points). At the end of each round, players add up the cards they played, then subtracting what they have left in their hand. Your point total is the difference for that round.
@@joycehuard3435 On their turn, yes! My family never played with the actual "say rummy" rule. It was more or less just playing casually until someone put their last card face down on the discard pile.
This is how my family normally played rummy 10k. We also had an option “around the clock” scoring which sped up the game a little bit and allowed you to play or play off a straight that went king to ace. For example king of hearts, ace of hearts and two of hearts are a playable meld.
This year my 81 year old father mentioned that he misses the time when he and his family played rummy on Christmas eve back in the 60s/70s. So this Christmas, it's rummy and whiskey for me, him, and the family! :D Thank you for the lesson!
I think playing rummy must be different depending on where you live. Being from the East Coast we played it much differently than my Midwest wife and definitely much different than described in this video. Also, I've noticed a vast difference in scoring as well. I think no matter how it's played and as long as you're having fun it's the right way!
Just played a heavily modified version of 500 with the family and I'm also an east coaster... maybe it's a coincidence? :P The points are scored like golf, where the player with the fewest wins, and you earn points based on how many cards you weren't able to discard in a round.
My family plays this every evening... one of the best games ever.... My dad taught us this.. now my whole family is playing daily... sorry for my bad english
Romans 3:23 New International Version 23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. John 3:16 New International Version 16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. Romans 10:9-10 New International Version 9 If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved.
For 2-player rummy, we play for the lowest score: the player left holding the cards gets the points. Also, if a player accidentally discards a card that could have gone into a meld, the other player can call “rummy on the board” and steal it to put onto a meld before starting their turn. We also have the rule that if you pick a card from the discard pile, you have to take all the cards put down on top of it (they are spread so you can see them)
I've been playing this so that you either pick one from the stock or all from the discard pile. It's a high risk high reward and a big thing if you can memorise what the discard pile is holding.
It’s soo interesting because when I play with my family and friends, we play by very different rules. For example, someone discards a 6 of hearts and there is a 7 and 8 of hearts in the discard pile, the first one to notice calls out “Rummy!” And picks up those cards. Some other rules we play by are Aces are 15 pts, cards 2-9 are 5 pts, and at the end of the round the cards in your hands are negative from your total and don’t go to the person who won the round.
Really well made and concise tutorial. I’ve always played under the idea that you can lay down as many melds as you want on your turn though. This would make the game trickier so I might try that next time.
Questions: Can you pick up only the top card that is on the discard pile? When a player goes out, do they get points for the cards they have already melded onto the table? What about the other players' melded cards - do they each get those points?
Where I'm from, Rummy (Ron) is played quite differently. Aces are the highest and 2s the lowest, with an ace being worth 11 points. 7 cards are handed to each player, no matter how many there are, although there is a hard cap at 4 players. The game starts with no cards on the discard pile (so first player always draws from the deck), and it ends when someone is left with no cards or until the deck runs out, upon which the player with the lowest score wins, upon which the round's winner becomes the new dealer. There is technically no cap on lay-offs, but most players typically cap them off at 3 lay-offs, and you can't do then at the same time as a meld. Same thing for melds, which, although there is no official limit, are usually capped off at 1 per turn. If no melds of any sort have been played yet, then a run meld consisting of more than 3 cards can be played at once, meaning it is possible for someone to rummy with a single meld of 7 cards. Finally, there is no points system, but everyone tallies up their wins instead until a predetermined amount of wins is reached or until everyone decides to stop playing, upon which the player with the most wins wins the whole game.
If all of their remaining cards are matched, the player may lay them down without discarding on their last turn. (according to the bicycling cards rummy website lol)
You can just hold on to it usually but most everyone I’ve played with have slightly different rules it’s always best to ask the people your playing with what they’re rules are
In England this is called Beanie I've taught it to so many people i remember at out local kids club there used to be mammoth games. Honestly great memories.
Excuse me, so you are saying played down cards onto the table have no point value at all, that the points are collected from the retained card value in the opponent's hand after the winning player has played their last card?
I play rummy a bit differently… I usually play it with 13 cards with my family and we actually don’t meld but instead we make 3 sets of 3 and one set of 4 and one set has to be a jokerless run and we show the cards only if we finished. Then you win
My family been playing this wrong for 30+ years we've always dealt out 7 cards to every player, aces are either 5 if played in a run A23 but 15 points if play QKA, or AAA. Who ever goes out first gets all their mold points, and who ever is caught with cards deducts the cards in hand from their meld points. First person to 500 points wins.
In south africa have a game very similar to this called 9 hands and its very famous. We play with nine cards , 4 jokers ( chosen from the deck and the joker will be the card after that card)
Is there a different name for a game where you discard in a way you can see all of the cards, and you can choose to pick up a card from any of the discarded pile you just have to take everything that’s above it. Using the one that’s on the bottom, we also score using the melds that you put down in front of you and the cards that are left in your hand if you’re not the one to go out or counted against that score. Also putting cards on other peoples melds, just keeping them in front of you for your own scoring benefit.
i have two doubts. can we both meld and lay off in a single turn or can we do any one of the two. and also is there a limit to number of cards we can meld in one turn?
If you have only 1 card at the end of your turn like in 1:57, how do you win this game? Is it only by laying off the 2 cards that you would have on your turn (cuz u draw at the start of your turn)?
I tried to play with other two people but stuck right in the beginning as no one had either a run or three same cards to start with even after having picked a card from the deck. Any advice on how to start in these situation will be really appreciated. Thanks.
Just checking to make sure I was using my account & not my husband's. Both our names start with D & last initial P. Just sayin. When we were dating, he, his daughter & I would play rummy on the weekends we had her with us. Rummy wasn't the only game we played & our weekends were always ALOT of fun!! I miss those days....
If u have melded in a turn and u have a chance to lay off so u can laying off is optional u can if u have a chance like I mean if u have cards to lay off but if u r melding so u do it once it is optional.
My grandparents taught me how to play this game but they don't use 4 of a kind our family believes it ruins the game they only use full house a k q j 10 and so on but i have leard over the years there are many ways to play it trying to look for the way most casinos play it so ill have a chance to win is this the right video for me or would anyone recommend a different video
Hi. I am just starting to play the game and came across a situation that I'm not sure about, please could you clarify for me? I was left with 2 aces in hand then drew another ace from the stock pile, could I then lay those 3 aces down as a meld as it was still my turn, or would still have to discard 1 card to finish my turn, thus still leaving me with 2 aces? Thank you.
From what I understand, you play the meld then pass your turn. This doesn’t count as you “going out”, because to go out you have to discard your last card. Next time it’s your turn just draw and discard to end the hand. I don’t think it’s against the rules to just discard the ace you drew and keep the other two in your hand, but it wouldn’t make much sense because someone else might “go out” or pick up your ace then your stuck with all those points in your hand. Hopefully this helps.
@@arestheking7912 nah, it should be what the commentary said above yours. Play your meld. Since you didn't discard, you are not out yet.. in the next turn, draw and discard...

You can only do that in Rummy 500.

Great video! Question when you get rid of all cards in your hand must you also discard?
You can finish the hand either way; one way will get fewer points, and the other more difficult way get more
If all of their remaining cards are matched, the player may lay them down without discarding on their last turn. (according to the bicycling cards rummy website lol)

Can you lay off the card to other players before melding yourself?
In phase 10 you can not lay off cards before you have your own phase completed
After each round which cards get shuffled and redealt? just the stock pile?
When I was in the mental hospital down in Las Cruces, I played a game call Swiss and feels like it's just like rummy
Can we do both melding and laying off simultaneously in a turn? You didn’t mention it on the video.
Triple s games a question jokers are included or not?
