- **a. How to Play Rummy Challenge**
- **------------------------------**
-
- The card game, Rummy Challenge, is played with a
- standard 52 card deck. There are many variations
- of the card game Rummy, Rummy Challenge is one
- version.
-
- The game starts with each player being dealt
- seven cards, and one card face-up in the center.
- The remaining cards form the playing deck.
- A player has the option of taking a card from
- the deck, or taking the top card from the heap
- by clicking on it.
-
- If a player clicks on either the Card Deck or the
- Heap card, a card from the deck, or heap will be
- added to their hand. The player must then discard
- a card from their hand. A player can not discard
- a card chosen from the Heap.
-
- As in traditional Rummy, the goal of the game is
- to acquire "Gin" - a hand of seven cards arranged
- into one three-card spread and one four-card
- spread. A spread consists of three or more cards
- of the same rank, or three or more cards of the
- same suite in sequence.
-
- If a player has acquired a "Gin" hand, then they
- must click on the "GIN" button.
-
- SCORING: The player who "Gin's" first scores the
- total of matched cards in their hand. The opponent
- scores the total number of matched cards in their
- hand minus the total number of unmatched cards.
- The Ace is worth 15 points, Face cards, and the
- 10 card are worth 10 points, and all other
- cards are worth 5 points. The first player who
- scores a total of 200 points wins.
