Rules

Playing Card Suits and Rank Order

Four suits, 13 ranks. Sequences need one suit and consecutive ranks. Ace is flexible at the ends and illegal in the wrap.

SuitsH, D, C, S.
Low aceA-2-3.
High aceQ-K-A.

Rank line

A, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, J, Q, K. For scoring, J Q K A are 10 each. For runs, ace is either below 2 or above king.

No wrap

K-A-2 is not a sequence in Indian rummy. Do not force it with a joker either if the story is wrap-around.

Same suit only

5-6-7 must share a suit for a sequence. Mixed 5-6-7 is nothing. Sets are the place for mixed suits — what is a set.
