The requirement of First Life and Second Life makes 13 cards Indian
Rummy interesting and challenging. It requires skill, use of memory
and complete focus and involvement in the game. A player must have A B O U T M E
clear picture of all the 13 cards he/she has, what runs and sets can be M Y T A X E S
formed, and what cards have already been played. Here are the T E A M
strategy and tips to win a game of rummy. V I E W M Y C O M P L

1. Arranging your cards. You will be dealt 13 cards. Pick the cards
and arrange it in different suits and from lower rank card to higher rank
card. Keep cards of each suit separate. Do this even when you have
cards of same ranks but of different suits and you can make sets using
cards in hand. In the beginning, focus on completing the two required
sets. For example

4 6 3 10 11 A 5 J K 2 5

10 K

Now if you have aces rearrange the aces depending upon if you have
2 and 3 or Q and K of same suit. If you have an ace and both 2/3 and
Q/K of same suit, then you can keep ace either with 2/3 or Q/K but
make keep in mind that with ace of that suit you can make A-2-3 or Q-
K-A. Thus the rearrangement of the cards is as under:

4 6 3 10 11 5 J K A 2 5

10 K

2. Understanding your cards. After arranging cards in proper order

and in different suits, check if you have cards of same rank but of
different suits. Keep those cards in mind for example:

5 5 and K K

You must also remember if you have jokers or not. In the example

shown above you do not have any printed joker. If 3 is visible

under stock pile, you have one joker 3 . You should be aware that

you already have cards of Second Life J 3 K A .

These cards of Second Life can become cards of First Life of 4 cards if

you pick Q and you will have a free joker 3 .

Review cards of each suit. For club you have 4 and 6 . This is
a pair with a hole. The cards that can be used with these cards of club

are 3 ,5 and 7 . If you get 3 , you can keep this card

and you may discard 6 . With 3 and 4 you can use 2

or 5 to form a sequence. Similarly if you get 7 , you should

keep this card and may discard 4 .

3. Picking a card. When it is your turn, you must pick a card either
the face up card from discard pile or face down card from stock pile.
Decide which card you want to pick. Figure out if you need face up card
or not. If you do not pick discard card (face up card), you must pick
face down card. Your decision should be based on cards in your hand
and usefulness of the face up card in forming a pure sequence/run
(First Life) and Second Life. Also remember when you pick a face up
card, other players also see this card. Evidently, the player whose turn
comes before you will now avoid discarding a card that is close to the
face up card picked by you.
