Each player gets 13 cards. The object is form runs (sequences) and sets using all the 13 cards. Normally, the winner will have 4 combinations of runs and sets, out of which 3 will be 3-cards and one will be of 4-cards. However, it is possible to have 3 combinations of 5-, 4-, and 4- cards; 5-, 5-, and 3-cards; or 6-, 4- and 3-cards. It is also possible to have just two combinations.

All the printed jokers are wild cards. Plus all cards of same rank as the face up card below the stock pile on the table are wild cards.

In a sequence or a set any wild card can be used as a substitute for the missing card. Only one wild card can be used in a sequence or a set. The sequence that uses a wild card (as a substitute for the missing card) is a non pure sequence.

A valid declare must have minimum two runs and out of these runs one run must be pure (called First Life). The second run can be pure or non pure (called Second Life). Either First Life or Second Life must have 4 or more cards. On a valid declare the scores of the rest of the players are counted.

Yes, in Indian Rummy by Octro, only one wild card can be used in a sequence or a set. In Octro’s Indian Rummy we follow the rules followed by the leading clubs in India. We have clearly stated and documented these rules.

As soon as you have enough chips, you move to higher level. So your level is automatically decided based on number of chips you have. Once you reach a higher level, you are always higher level player. If you do not have enough chips to play on that level, you can play on lower level.
Any of your Indian Rummy friend on a lower level can invite you to play on his/her table.

The guest account and the Facebook account are treated as two different accounts. Chips are not transferable.

Please be assured that the card distribution is completely random. There is no way we can figure out who gets what cards. It is just plain luck. Indian Rummy requires luck, skill and judgment. We wish you best of luck in the game.
