RUMMY
Posted: Fri May 17, 2024 4:28 am
A version of Rummy for the X16.
I built this using a lot of the same code as I used for solitaire, so the interface / controls are similar.
CONTROLS:
Left click to select cards
Right click to unselect all cards
Click the deck to draw from the deck
Click a card in the discard pile to pick it up and all cards above it
Once a card is drawn, click the discard pile with one card selected to discard it and end your turn.
To play a match, select all the cards in the match and click the empty card shape below the deck. If your play was not a valid match, it will play a beep.
GAME RULES:
This game is more closely based on 500 rum, but should be understandable to most.
The objective of the game is to score more points than your opponent, achieved by playing 3 cards of the same rank/number or 3 cards of the same suite in a row. Once either player runs out of cards, they also add the point values of the other player's hand to their score.
Players can play off both their existing matches and the matches of their opponent.
At the start of a player's turn, they may either draw from the deck or pick up a portion of the cards from the discard pile. If they do so, they must pick up all the cards above the first card they pick up, and they must play that card to form a match this turn. (The game also checks that it is the first match you play that turn, I plan to add a message about this).
At any time the player may play matches. Once they are done, they must discard a card from their hand to the top of the discard pile (unless playing a match put them down to 0 cards in hand).
SCORING:
2-10 are worth 5 points
J,Q,K (face cards) are worth 10
Aces are worth 15 points
Hopefully this description makes sense, and you enjoy the game. If not, the wikipedia article on the rules should help: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/500_rum
