Key Rules and Features of Rummy C
1. Initial Deal:
Each player is dealt 13 cards (or 10 cards in some variations). The rest form the draw pile, and one card is placed face-up to start the discard pile.
2. Melding:
Players must form:
At least one pure sequence (no jokers).
Other valid sets or sequences to finish.
3. Jokers and Wild Cards:
Jokers are used as wild cards, and a “wild joker” is picked randomly from the deck at the start. Both printed and wild jokers can substitute any card in sets or sequences (except pure sequences).
4. Discarding:
On each turn, players draw a card from the draw or discard pile and then discard one card. To declare, a player must discard their last card onto the discard pile and lay down their hand for verification.
5. The “C” Rule:
The unique feature in Rummy C is the “C-meld” – a special meld consisting of three consecutive cards of the same suit where the middle card must be a “C-rank” card (Clubs only, or more commonly, any card with the letter “C” in its rank like Queen of Clubs or any card whose rank starts with “C”). This twist adds an extra challenge and a layer of strategy to forming sequences.
6. Winning:
Once a player makes a valid declaration and their melds are verified as correct, they win the round. Points are then calculated for each player based on unmelded cards.

Strategy Tips for Rummy C
Focus on Pure Sequences Early: As in other rummy games, forming a pure sequence early gives flexibility with jokers later.
Watch for C-opportunities: Keep an eye on potential “C-melds” and don’t discard cards that might help an opponent form one.
Discard Wisely: Avoid throwing cards that can easily complete a meld for others, especially middle cards useful for C-sequences.
Count Your Cards: Track how close you are to forming all valid sets so you don’t hold on to high-point cards for too long.
