OBJECTIVE OF THE RUMMY GAME

Do you have difficulty understanding some common terms? Don’t worry SilkRummy.com provides you with a complete glossary that covers all kinds of games, concepts, rules, and gameplay! We have put together an exhaustive list of all the terms commonly used in Indian rummy games.

101 Pool Rummy :

This variation of rummy has the elimination element in each deal. The game continues through a series of offers until all players, except one, are eliminated for having reached 101 points. Losing players earn points equivalent to the total value of their unmatched or unordered cards at the end of each deal. When a player’s score reaches 101 points, he/she is eliminated from the game and the player who survives until the end is declared the winner.

201 Pool Rummy :

The 201 Pool Rummy game is the same as the 101 Pool Rummy game, except that players are eliminated when they reach 201 points. The player who reaches the end without accumulating 201 points wins the game..

Ace:

A standard deck of 52 cards used in rummy contains 4 Aces. They come in different club suits, diamonds, hearts, and swords. Aces can be used to form a sequence of lower values such as Ace 2, 3, or they can be used to form a sequence with high cards, for example, Ace, King, and Queen. The points carried by each ace are 10. If a printed Joker is selected as a wild Joker, then the Aces also function as wild jokers, along with the printed Joker.
