Rummy Hand Checker: a guide for your next round

Keep the active rule in mind. Check a 13-card Indian Rummy hand for a valid declaration and see its grouping and penalty. The same rule applies on a phone and on a computer. Look at the complete hand before deciding. Enter 13 cards separated by spaces. Use A, 2–10, J, Q, K with S, H, C or D; use JK for a printed joker. Take the next action only when the current step is clear.

One thing to notice as you play

For a calm first round, focus on one decision. Enter the wild rank, using 1 for Ace and 11–13 for face cards. Take the next action only when the current step is clear.

Making your moves
