This is a popular game of strategy and luck, played all around the world in many variations. 
Pup Rummy offers a number of game variations.

This app offers a PLUS mode with all features enabled, and a lite mode with only limited features.
You can switch to PLUS mode inside the app: either FREE (with more ads during the game), or paid through an in-app purchase (with no ads at all).

With Pup Rummy, you can [with lite mode limitations as indicated]:
- play 10 [lite: 3] different built-in game types
- play your own customized game types [lite: not available]
- play against 1, 2 or 3 computer opponents [lite: 1]
- play with or without a time limit per turn varying from 2 minutes to a crazy 20 seconds [lite: none or 60 seconds]
- choose your opponents out of 16 [lite: 4] different players with individual skill levels and playing strategies
- undo and redo all moves in your turn 
- neatly arrange groups on the table by type, color and value, with a single tap [lite: not available]
- have your tiles organized automatically, or order your tiles yourself [lite: not available]
- ask for a hint when you're stuck 
- pause the game at any moment 
- stop at any time and continue later 
- choose bigger or smaller tiles
- see your total scores for each table, and reset them whenever you want [lite: not available]
- speed up or slow down the tile movement 
- play using one of the 8 [lite: 2] included tile sets
- pick one of the included game backgrounds

You play by simply dragging your tiles around.
Or you can tap matching tiles first to select them, then drag them all in one go.
Opponent moves are animated so you don't lose track. 
When the table has become too crowded, tap the eye button for an overview of the entire table. In the non-scrolling Parking area you can easily build new combinations.

In PLUS mode, you can create your own game types by combining the available game rule options. Pup Rummy supports all known game variations and a few additional rules, not found in the original game:
- two spare cells that hold tiles that every player can use
- trade those annoying duplicate tiles with other players
- skip turns after an invalid turn, instead of having to draw extra tiles
Combining all available options allows for millions of possible different game types!

### 1/5 — Worst for ads

*2025-10-29*

Ruined. Start of each game has ads that need to have airplane mode on to stop.

### 2/5 — Soo annoying adverts

*2025-07-20*

I’m soon going to stop using this app because as soon as game is finished, up pops an ad wanting you you play something else!! NO, I want to continue with what I have thank you.  Don’t spoil a good game!

### 5/5 — Well Done!

### 5/5 — Pup Rummy

*2023-08-11, version 2.3.26*

Love it.

### 1/5 — After update and years of playing, plus+ is gone

*2023-08-03*

I have had this game for years now with premium/plus+ and after the last update, it erased my tables and says I don’t have premium/plus+ a shame developers did that

### 1/5 — Used to love

### 5/5 — Pup Rummy

Addictive 
     A Texan

### 5/5 — Very simple and does the job

*2022-10-24, version 2.3.7*

I dont think Ive ever managed to find the real rummykub game app until I found pup rummy.
It’s simple and has different difficulty settings.
Happy with it.

### 5/5 — Great game. Minimal advertisements

*2022-10-18*

I don’t know what these people are talking about in other reviews about the game cheats, or how the joker is used by the game is inappropriate. I’ve never experienced any problems with playing this game. I do know that there are other ways of playing, with way more strict rules about how do use the joker, but this is the most open easy way. You can use the Joker any way or any where you want, replace it with the same tile it’s already being used as, or switch it out completely. Easy game to play and fun with minimal advertisements!
