Learn to Play Indian Rummy without Jokers

Indian Rummy is a card game often played with two or more decks, in which the players try to form sets and sequences of cards. One or more standard deck comprising 52 cards is used in the game. Two printed jokers are used in addition to it. 13 cards are dealt to each player. The objective of the game is to meld all the 13 cards into proper sets or sequences.

Most of us in India are used to playing the rummy game with joker cards. These wild cards come as a jackpot during the course of a rummy game as it allows the player to complete their sets/sequences. However, the true test for a rummy player is to win without jokers in the game. Rummy experts do not need the assistance of joker cards to complete the meld as they rely more on their skills to complete the game than an external assistance like Joker.

Indian Rummy

Let’s get this straight; a joker card makes playing Indian rummy easy. As we have reiterated before, Indian rummy is a game of skill and in order to test the real skills of playing rummy. In order to gain expertise in rummy one must learn to play the game even without a joker. It might appear easier said than done but it is possible.

The thumb rule to succeed without joker is to keep a close tab on the cards discarded/picked by your opponent. You must be on your toes all the time while playing the Game. You should be adept in doing quick calculations and must predict the cards that may be useful to your opponent.

Count your Points

You should be aware that all cards carry a certain number of points.

  • J (Jack) – 10 points
  • Q (Queen) – 10 points
  • K (King) – 10 points
  • A (Ace) – 10 points
  • All other numbered cards carry the same points as their face value for ex. 7 carries 7 points and 3 carries 3 points.
  • The jokers carry zero points.

Points play a very vital role in online rummy. If your starting hands are bad, it is advised to abort the game as you run the risk of losing with high points if you don’t. If you drop the game initially with a bad starting hand, you will lose only with 20 points. You can also drop out in the middle of the game when you’re finding it difficult to make melds; middle drop will cause you to lose with 40 points. Dropping the game is completely players’ call. You can read our article on the types of starting hands in our blog.

Learn to Play without Joker

Professional rummy players can easily predict the sets/run their opponents are trying to build. If their opponent is picking more from the open deck then it is evident that you’re dropping the card required by him. Professional rummy players would pick their cards mostly from the closed deck and play with it. They would pick a card from the open deck only when they are on the verge of completing the objective. Once you’re used to picking cards from the closed deck and completing the game, you can easily play the game even without joker card.

We know Phuket is mainly known for its voraciously beautiful beaches and its raucous nightlife scene. There is another face of this wonderful town that needs to be explored apart from the beach places. In this article, we shall discuss the other aspects of Phuket that need to be explored

Tiger Kingdom

Snap the beautiful moments here with your camera – you will relish them for life.

Big Buddha of Phuket

Phuket

The Big Buddha of Phuket is one of the most iconic and revered landmarks in the town. The 45m tall Big Buddha sits on the highest peak of the Nakkerd Hills in Ao Chalong. The whole project relies on public funding and donation. Visitors swarm this place in huge numbers as there are road signs pointing the way to it right across the whole island.

Hat Mai Khao

Hat Mai Khao is a beach on the northwestern coast of Phuket. Mai Khao is one of the few beaches in Phuket that continues to nesting turtles. The sand in Mai Khao is the coarsest in Phuket and it appears underdeveloped when compared to other hotspot destinations in Phuket. However, if you are someone who enjoys being in solitude this place should be on your itinerary.

Hat Nai Han Beach

Nai Harn is a beautiful & secluded beach in the south of Phuket.  It is calm and more laid back than other tourist spots in Phuket but has a fair share of food, hotels, and shops you need for a great time. Swimming is not recommended during the monsoon season i.e from May-Oct. This beach is less crowded and makes it perfect for people who prefer privacy.

Hat Kamala

Hat Kamala is a serene, picturesque beach located in the North of Patong. This beach is considered ideal for swimming snorkeling and sunbathing. If you’re the one who’s seeking adventure in your Phuket trip, this should be your ideal destination. The north end of the beach has a coral reef that invites undersea adventures while you can wade through other sections of the beach.

Old Phuket Town

Old Phuket Town is a historical section of Phuket that is a must-see on the itinerary of all the tourists. The town is famous for its vintage architecture, shops, museums, restaurants, and hotels. Visitors interested in History & Archeology can enjoy the illusion of being transported back to over a century ago. Old Phuket town is primarily comprised of five roads namely Phang NGA Road, Thalang Road, Thalang Road, Krabi Road & Anong road.

Bangla Road

 Like owls, Bangla road awakens when the sun sets. If you’re a party animal, then this place should be on the top of your list. This is the place to relax and freak out as almost all of the bars are outdoors or open-fronted with music from each one blending into a weird but delightful mix. The sex industry is big here. Some like it while others loathe it, whether you like it or hate it is still on tourists’ diary as one of the must-see tourist destinations in Phuket Island.

Spa in Phuket

Most of the spa junkies find Phuket to be extremely fascinating. There is a wide range of spas available that allow you to get scrubbed and soaked from head to toe. With the renowned Thai hospitability and a mind-soothing ambiance, you will feel like you’ve just visited an alternate universe once you’re done with your spa session. It is important for tourists who visit Phuket not to miss the Spa sessions.

 These are by no means is a comprehensive list of tourist attractions in Phuket but visitors who are on a short trip can try to make it across most of the places. If you’re someone who loves a weird mishmash of calm, serene place and raucous, brash places, then these are the places to look forward in Phuket.
