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:
- Group pure sequences first—these cannot include jokers and are mandatory.
- Use jokers and wildcards to complete sets/runs, but avoid relying on them for your pure sequences.
- Click “Meld” to place your groups on the table; then “Layoff” to add cards to existing melds.
- 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 Type | Penalty Points |
|---|---|
| 2–9 | Face value |
| 10, J, Q, K | 10 points |
| Ace | 1 point |
| Joker | 20 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.
