Just watching this video has brought me tears of joy. Thank you so very much. You'll never know what this little video meant. Blessed Be

I score by counting everything we put down. Whoever has cards still in their hand you subtract that from whatever you have, you can go negative.

@Prizin_Mike 4 жыл бұрын

RichThePro that’s how I️ play it too. We also lay down cards in front of us when going off someone’s meld. I️.e, if you have A23 in front of you, I️ lay down the 4 in front of me to count for my points. I️ don’t join it with your meld.

It's kinda crazy how many variants of this there are. The one I'm familiar with has you "add" to other people's melds on your own side of the board (so they only score for you), and scores are done by counting the values in your melds. 2-9 = 5pt, 10-K = 10pt, A = 15pt, Joker = 25pt; Cards remaining in your hand are subtracted from your melds. Also the Ace can be both high and low, forming a loop, so the run KA2 is valid. Melding your last card doesn't end a round in this variant either, a round can only end on a discard. Games are usually played to 500 or more

I️ guess we’ve been playing our own special way lol if you’re left with cards in your hand, your number goes negative instead of going to the winner. And if there’s a card in the discard pile that can be played on a meld, we yell rummy, slap the pile, and take that card for points for us. We also allow you to pick up from anywhere in the discard pile but you have to take all the cards on top of the card you pick up from. 🤷🏻‍♀️ still fun!

@viscachamusic8824 4 жыл бұрын

To your first point, the outcome is the same either way. Your way: if I have 50 points, you have 40 points, but you have 10 points in your hand, then you can subtract that from your 40 meaning you now how 30 points, so I win by 20 Other way: I have 50 points, you have 40 points, but you have 10 in your hand, you give the 10 to me, so now I have 60. I win by 20 Either way I’d still win by 20, so it’s the same

GatherTogetherGames also. There is a game we play called wizbang. I found your channel because I was looking for card game tutorials hoping to find one in wizbang that I could send to friends. Maybe they call it something else where you are from? Game: Everyone has their own deck of cards that look different. (important for the end) Next you count out 13 cards for your wizbang pile and they face down except for the top card. Then count out 4 cards face up beside your wizbang pile. Then you hold the rest of the deck in your hand. Once everyone has done that you start the game. There are no turns you just go as you are able. The game starts by someone having an an ace. And you take the remaining deck of cards and flip every 3rd card to see if you can play it. While waiting to ve able to play you can use the 4 cards facing up as a solitaire board. All cards have to be same suit when thrown in the table You start with ace then go 2 to King. Once someone throws down a king that stack is closed. The object is to get as many cards out as possible and to get through your wizbang pile. Ever heard anything like? Hope I was clear enough

Hi, does a player have to have laid down a meld before he can start laying off cards on to someone else's meld, or can he/she do it at any time. Also, once you have laid down a meld, can you add to it later? Another question, if you pick up a card from the stock pile, can you discard it immediately without adding to your hand, or would it be better to add it to your hand then discard it, so as not to give too much information away? (and does the same apply in Gin Rummy?)

Also, at the beginning of the video it looked like the runs needed to follow suit, but Player 3 ends up with an un-suited A,2,3 run. So, runs do not need to be suited?

First of all, I love the way you explain and demonstrate card games, I am learning so much. As I am just starting to play Rummy, there are some things that I am not 100% certain about. At around 2:48 in the video, you state that if a player has not laid any cards on the table, and is able to get rid of all his cards in one go, that is known as "going Rummy" and he is awarded double the pip count remaining in the other players hand or hands. Now, I understand that that means not previously put down a meld, or laid off a card or cards onto someone else's meld, but does that also include the discard? What I mean is, if a player has already discarded a card on his first play, then Rummy is no longer possible, or does the rule only apply to melds and/ or lay offs. If it DOES also apply to discards, that would mean that the only time that "Rummy" is possible would be on any player's very first play, because technically, he has laid a card on the table.

I played a version where you have to yell rummy I think before you discard or play your final card or else you draw more but I can’t remember the specifics of the rule

Why would you help your oppositions meld?

Going rummy, double points: coolness. I played this game, once. Don’t remember it much.

I still dont get it why when you discard a card, it placed to the "opponents meld area", if the card is possible to place in their opponents meld area. doesn't it helps the opponents to win?

@stuartrobinson2983 4 ай бұрын

After you have picked up a card from either the "stock pile" or the "discard pile" if you then place it on one of your opponent's tabled melds, you are not discarding it, you are laying off, discard is when you place a card onto the discard pile, and should be the last act of your turn. It could potentially help your opponent in that he may have the next card in a sequence, but it is also beneficial to you, as you have gotten rid of one of your own cards, which is the aim of the game. Hope this makes sense.

Ace is not always low. It can be used after King for melding.

I used to play with my grandma and dealers choice...sets only, runs only, sets and runs, or around the corner. Around the corner was when you can use the ace with a king and a 2. We didn't score like this video. 10, jack, queen, king were 10 points, ace was 15, and the rest were 5.

In most circles, no, the Ace is never higher than the King in melding. Such a rule makes sense since it makes Kings less dangerous, but it makes Aces too overpowered unless you make them worth 15 deadwood rather than 1.

I checked the Video to Canasta before. This game here seems to me like the light version which is more easier.

@reillywalker195 3 жыл бұрын

Canasta and Rummy are closely related. Both are melding games developed from the Mexican card game Conquian, but both took the original's concepts in different directions. Rummy games are about racing to meld all of your cards and go out to score your opponent's unmelded cards, while Canasta games are about scoring for your own melds and going out after fulfilling a melding requirement.

Isn't ace card more valuable than face card?

There is multiple ways of winning, and you have to have 7 cards to win, forming a set, wether its a suit of hearts etc or 4 spades 7,8,9,10 cards and 3 diamonds 4,5,6 cards to forming a set win in any combination 3s suits together forming 3 cards of diferant suits, ace,king,queen jack etc.

Can a player add on to his own meld after it is laid down?

@reillywalker195 5 жыл бұрын

Yes. You can lay off cards onto any meld on the table. Effectively, melds belong to everyone as soon as they're made.

I have a specific question, if some one wins in round 3 (it’s just a random round number) but the other players haven’t played yet can they get a chance to play off their cards or not?

@GatherTogetherGames 5 жыл бұрын

Once a player wins, the round is over and no other moves are made.

If they play, how would you count the points?

@stuartrobinson2983 4 жыл бұрын

At 1:20, you state that once a card is drawn, the player has the option to lay down a meld, but is it possible for any player to lay down a meld directly from their hand even before the first card is drawn, or must they wait until the first card is drawn?

I wouldn’t do it

@GatherTogetherGames 4 жыл бұрын

It is my interpretation that a player can only meld on their turn.

Question: so when a player pulls from the discard pile do they have to use the last card they picked up or can they just hold on to it and discard their one card after they get what they wanted? I must know the answer because my wife is a cheater at this game lol

@GatherTogetherGames 4 жыл бұрын

In this game a player can hold a card just drawn from the discard pile.
