INTRODUCTION OF GEM RUMMY

Gem Rummy is a commercial rummy game created by Jon, Lori, and Jayden Carper.  In this game, players are trying to form melds and go out before their opponents.  What separates this game from Gin Rummy is the addition of suits on each card.  Rather than just collect sets and runs, players can also meld cards based on their gem parts.  The inclusion of another set of suits, scoring bonuses, and rules for 3 players makes this an interesting game for any Gin Rummy fan. 메이저안전놀이터

THE CARDS & THE DEAL

Gem Rummy is played with a commercial deck.  It is a special 52 card deck with each card also containing a gem categorization.  Players will be able to build melds based on rank, suit, and gem category.

Shuffle and deal 11 cards to each player. The non-dealer rolls the two D6 dice to determine the knock limit and the diamond number.  The diamond number determines which Diamond card can be melded with any Queen.  Place the dice as they are rolled on the Red Joker. 

Place the rest of the deck face down to form a draw pile.  Turn the top card over to begin the discard pile.

The winner of the hand will deal the next one.

THE PLAY

THE PICK UP

The non-dealer has the choice to add the turned up card to their hand.  If they choose to pass on the card, the dealer has the choice to pick it up.  If the card is picked up, the player discards one card and the opposite player takes their turn. 

If both players pass, the non-dealer takes their turn by drawing from the draw pile.  A player’s turn ends with a discard.

REGULAR PLAY

On each turn, players will draw a card, form melds in their hand, and discard.  Melds are not played to the table.  They are kept in hand.  Play continues until a player is ready to knock.

MELDS

There are four types of melds in Gem Rummy.

Sets are three or more cards of the same rank.

Runs are three or more cards of the same suit in sequential order

Stashes are four or more cards of the same gem color

Queen’s Diamonds is a special meld made up by any Queen and another card in the diamond suit determined by a dice roll at the beginning of the hand.

ENDING THE ROUND

Any card that is not part of a meld is considered deadwood, and these cards are worth deadwood points.  A player may knock when they have deadwood points equal to or less than the dice roll that occurred at the beginning of the game.  A player knocks after discarding their final card.

A player can also end the round by going Gin or Big Gin.  A player goes Gin when they have all 11 cards melded in their hand after discarding.  If this occurs, the player should call out “GIN”.  If the player draws a card and is able to meld all 12 cards in their hand, they have gone Big Gin.  They should announce it loudly and lay down their hand.  In this case, the player will not discard.

If there are only two cards in the draw pile at the beginning of a player’s turn, the game ends in a draw immediately.  Neither player earns points.

SCORING

Once the round has ended, each player should lay out their melds and separate their deadwood.  The non-knocking player is allowed to lay-off any deadwood that they can.  This means that they can add their eligible deadwood cards to an opponent’s melds.  If the knocker has gone Gin or Big Gin, the non-knocker cannot lay-off any cards.

Point values are as follows:

Aces = 1 point

2’s – 10’s = points equal to the number on the card

Jacks, Queens, and Kings = 10 points each

The knocker earns points equal to the difference in total deadwood between them and the non-knocker.

If the player goes Gin by melding all of their cards, they get 25 points plus the value of their opponent’s deadwood.

A Big Gin earns 35 points plus their opponent’s deadwood value.
