Declare and drop

13-card Indian Rummy on this lobby still needs a pure sequence before you show. A wrong show costs more than a timely drop. Cash hands open in the app, not on this page.

A valid declare

You hold 13 cards. To show, every card sits in a group or a sequence. At least one sequence must be pure: same suit, consecutive ranks, no joker. A second sequence may use the printed joker or the wild joker. Groups are three or four of a kind. If one card is left loose, the show is invalid.

Why the pure sequence comes first

Players who already know 13-card rummy still lose a bankroll by showing a hand that only looks complete. Two joker sequences without a pure run is a wrong show. Build the pure run first, then fill groups. The printed joker in the lobby is the wild for that hand — it does not sit inside the pure sequence.

Wrong show

Without a pure sequence, a declare is a wrong show. On Points you pay that hand and the next hand starts. On Pool the penalty adds to a 101 or 201 score and can put you out of the pot. On Deals the penalty sits in that deal and still bills the buy-in you already paid. A drop before the show is usually cheaper than this.

When to drop

If the first few picks do not start a pure run, drop. First-drop is cheaper than a mid-hand drop on most lobbies. The exact chips are printed on the table you sat. A late drop after you have already drawn a stack is often worse than finishing a clean show, so drop early or commit to a valid declare.

Points, Pool and Deals feel the show differently

The cards are the same. The bill is not. Points closes every hand, so a wrong show hurts once. Pool keeps the score, so one bad show can end 201. Deals has a fixed number of hands, so a wrong show on deal 1 still leaves later deals, but the buy-in is already in. Sit the table first on the cash-table pages. Use this page only for the show and the drop.
