Step 1: Deal & Draw

Once you’ve joined a table, MeldRush auto‐shuffles two standard decks plus jokers (or single deck in Gin). The dealer position rotates clockwise each round, ensuring everyone gets a fair chance.

You receive 13 cards in Indian Rummy (10 in Gin Rummy). On your turn:

  • Draw: Pick one card from the closed stock or the open discard pile.
  • Organize: Sort cards by suit and rank to visualize potential melds.
  • Discard: Place one unwanted card in the discard pile to pass your turn.

Mastering the draw/discard rhythm is key to speeding up your play and outpacing opponents in Points Rummy.

Step 2: Meld & Layoff

A meld is a valid set (three or four cards of same rank, different suits) or run (three+ consecutive cards in same suit). You can only lay off cards once you’ve successfully melded at least one set or run.

Here’s how to play your cards:

  1. Group pure sequences first—these cannot include jokers and are mandatory.
  2. Use jokers and wildcards to complete sets/runs, but avoid relying on them for your pure sequences.
  3. Click “Meld” to place your groups on the table; then “Layoff” to add cards to existing melds.
  4. Monitor opponents’ melds—they reveal which suits and ranks are safe to discard.

Step 3: Scoring & Declaring

To declare, arrange your hand into at least two sequences (one pure). When you’re ready, hit “Declare” and the system will verify your melds and calculate scores.

Card TypePenalty Points
2–9Face value
10, J, Q, K10 points
Ace1 point
Joker20 points

The player with the lowest total deadwood wins. In Pools Rummy, play continues until a set point limit (101/201) is reached, so careful point management is crucial.

Step 4: Advanced Strategy

Ready to graduate from basics? Here are pro‐level tactics to elevate your game:

  • Defensive Discards: Track opponent discards to block their sequences.
  • Flexible Middle Cards: Retain 5–7 to maximize run possibilities.
  • Bluff Timing: In private tables, mix early discards of jokers to confuse rivals.
  • Streak Bonuses: Use daily challenges to build deposit-free play credits.
  • Table Selection: Choose tables with consistent opponents to learn patterns.

Combine these strategies with regular practice, and you’ll see your win rate soar. Remember: in MeldRush, every shuffle is a fresh opportunity.
