A Memory from Childhood - Chinese Rummy

 

cards.gifChinese rummy is a seven-hand card game of increasing complexity.  I don't remember many of the rules, so other than what I put here, use the rules of a simple rummy game you know, such as gin rummy.

What I do remember.  Deuces and jokers are wild.  You can pick up the top card from the discard pile (only the last discard).  In hands 1-6, you can discard to go out.  In hand 7, you must go out without a discard.

Here are the details of of the 7 hands:

  1. Two sets to go out
  2. Two runs to go out
  3. A set and a run to go out
  4. Two sets and a run to go out
  5. Two runs and a set to go out
  6. Three sets to go out.
  7. Three runs to go out (NO DISCARD) 

 Have fun!
