Getting Started

Learn the game.
  • Round Rummy is a Contract Rummy-style card game.
  • Each round has a contract made from sets and/or runs.
  • Lay down the required contract, then keep playing until someone goes out.
  • At the end of each round, all players score cards left in their hands.
  • Lowest total score wins.
  • Card themes are visual only and do not affect gameplay.
  • A set is 3 or more cards of the same rank.
  • A run is 4 or more sequential cards in the same suit.
  • Buying only applies in games with 3 or more players.
  • Buying must happen before the current player draws.
  • The next player in turn order has first priority and may take the discard for free as their normal draw.
  • If they pass, each player in turn order ahead of the buyer gets a chance.
  • A later player who buys receives the discard plus one penalty card from the deck.
  • After a later player buys, the next-turn player can draw from the draw or discard pile and continues their turn.
  • The player who discarded the card cannot buy it back.
  • Buys are unlimited.
  • Once the current player draws, buying is locked until the next discard.
