Your objective is to meld your cards by picking a card from the open deck or closed deck on each turn and discarding a card from your hand. Cards can be melded into sets and sequences. Please find examples of sets and sequences below: 
Examples of Sets: Meld three or four cards of the same value and different suits to form a valid set in 10-cards rummy.[/caption] 
Examples of Sequences: Meld three or more consecutive cards of the same suit to form a valid sequence in 10-card rummy.[/caption] To help you with melding your cards, you have Jokers! Jokers can be used to replace any missing cards and form sets and sequences. Awesome, right? Apart from printed Jokers, there are wild Jokers that are selected randomly after 10-cards are dealt to each player. All suit cards having the same value as the Jokers will be treated as wild Jokers in that round. Here is an example of wild Joker. If ♥Q is randomly selected as the wild Joker, all the Qs (as shown above) will be considered Jokers.[/caption]

Gameplay of 10-Card Rummy

As discussed earlier, you need to form sets and sequences with the 10 cards you are dealt. Once you have melded your cards, you need to discard your final card to the ‘Finish' slot to declare your win. Before you declare, you need to make sure that you have a valid hand. Do not declare your hand unless you have valid sequences and sets, or you will get the maximum minus points as a penalty.

How to check if you have a valid hand in 10-Card Rummy

In 10-card rummy, a valid hand should consist of at least one pure sequence and the rest of the cards into sets or sequences. A pure sequence is a sequence that does not use any Joker as a substitute card, though the Joker can be used in its original value as a card of its original suit. 

Point Calculation in 10-Card Rummy

10-Card Rummy is played for points. Each card has a point, and your aim is to score the minimum points to win. So, if you make a valid declaration first, you will win by getting zero points. If your opponent declares their hand successfully before you, the total points of your cards that are not melded will be your score. Here’s how calculations are done: Face cards are worth 10 points each. Ace: 10 points King: 10 points Queen: 10 points Jack: 10 points Other cards are worth the points printed on them. 2: 2 points 3: 3 points And… 10: 10 points In 10-cards rummy, the maximum points that you can get is −60. This means that even if the sum of your deadwood or unmatched cards is more than 60, you will get only −60 points. 
Other point calculations Wrong Declaration: You will get the maximum points (−60) if you make a wrong declaration. 
First Drop: You will get −20 points if you drop the game before making a move. 
Middle Drop: You will get −40 points if you drop the game after making a move or in the middle of the game. 

Differences between 10-Card Rummy and 13-Card Rummy

Though the games are similar, there are some differences between the two versions. That might sound complicated, but it isn’t. The major difference is the number of cards used in the two variants. The number of cards dealt to players is different: 10 and 13 respectively. However, both the games use two decks of cards. In 10 cards rummy, you just need to form one pure sequence, and it is not mandatory to create the second sequence. But in 13-card rummy, you are required to form at least one pure sequence and an additional sequence. Comparing the speed of the two games, 10-card rummy is faster, since there are only 10 cards and it is not mandatory to create a second sequence. So chances are that players will finish the game more quickly. Another difference is the point calculation. In 10-card rummy, the maximum points you can get is limited to −60. However, in 13-cards rummy, the maximum points is −80. [box type="tick" size="large" style="rounded" border="full"]Register now and Play 10-Card Rummy with Free Rs. 25! Limited Time,
