In Three-Thirteen Rummy players draw and discard to form 3+ card Melds in their hand. A Meld consists of a Set of 3+ cards of the same number, or a Run in numerical sequence of 3+ cards in the same suit. Players: You play against three AI Opponents - Left, Top, and Right. Card Deck: Three-Thirteen Rummy uses two combined decks of standard playing cards, a total of 104 cards. For a faster pace of play, two or four wildcard Jokers can optionally be added to the deck.   Playing the Game: 1. Round 1 begins by dealing three cards face-down to each player. The next card in the deck is then placed face-up in the center of the table, starting a discard stack. Remaining cards in the deck are stacked face-down, next to the discard stack. 2. Player to the left of the dealer is first to play. Player either takes the top card from the discard stack, or draws the top card from the deck. After analyzing if the additional card improves player's hand by making a new Meld, or increases the probability of making a new Meld in future turns, player discards one card face-up on top of the discard stack. Play continues clockwise around the table. 3. Wildcards - in each Round, the card number equal to the number of cards in a player's hand is "wild" (for example, Three's are "wild" in Round 1). In Rounds 9-11 Jacks, Queens, and Kings, respectively, are "wild". If optional Jokers have been added to the deck they are "wild" in every Round. A wildcard can be used to represent any card in the deck. Thus they are very powerful cards for completing Melds. Multiple wildcards can be used in one Meld, and a Meld of wildcards only is also allowed. 4. A Round ends when a player, after discarding, has every card in their hand in a Meld of three or more cards. The player announces he/she is "out", and turns his/her cards face-up on the table. Remaining players now get one final turn to improve their hand before point totals are tallied. (Note: even if a player is "out" at the start of their turn, they must still take a card from either the deck or discard stack and then make a discard.) 5. After players have taken their final turns, points are tallied for all cards not in a meld. Cards numbered 2-10 count according to their number. Jacks, Queens, and Kings count 10 points. When Aces are played as low they count 1 point, but when optionally played as high count 15 points. (The option to play Aces as both low and high is currently not available in Three-Thirteen Rummy). Wildcards that cannot be used in a Meld count 15 points, and Jokers not in a Meld count 20 points.   6. The deal passes to the player to left, and play continues to the next Round. Players are dealt one more card than the previous Round. The new Round, and each successive Round, is played according to steps 2-5 above. Winning the Game: Upon completion of Round 11 the player with the lowest number of points wins the game. If two or more players are tied for the lowest point total, the rule of two-tied, all-tied is followed, and no player is awarded a win for the game. ## Key features - Draw and discard gameplay - Form sets and runs (melds) - Play against three AI opponents - Uses two decks of cards - Optional wildcards (Jokers) - Eleven rounds with increasing hand size - Lowest score wins ## Recent user reviews (10 of 42) All indexed reviews: https://appshunter.io/ios/app/three-thirteen-rummy/id1609475732/reviews.md ### 4/5 — Missing tiles *2026-06-21, version 4.7.0* My full hand no longer does displays 10 and up making the game unplayable 17 pro 4.7.0 iOS 26.5.1 ### 1/5 — HARD TO USE *2026-06-19, version 4.7.0* Very hard to use and move cards around. It crashes a lot too. ### 2/5 — Hard to win against computer players *2026-05-02, version 4.7.0* What I really like about this game is that it automatically sorts your cards for you. What I really dislike is it’s hard to win, seems like the computer players are always getting dealt good hands where they can go out almost immediately and you are stuck with a handful of high cards. One game in the 8th or 9th round, one of the AI players only had 3 points, very hard to believe. ### 5/5 — Fun! *2026-02-11, version 4.7.0* Love the game and am happy I found this app. The update is really nice, I like the brighter colors. Thanks for keeping it up to date! ### 2/5 — Rigged *2026-01-09, version 4.6.0* I started out liking this game but quickly realized it is rigged for one person to have a low score each time. Also, I get the same card dealt 5-6 times in a row! ### 2/5 — Not random *2025-12-19, version 4.6.0* I will add my voice to those who believe the game is not coded properly for randomness. Every game, there is one player who drastically performs better than the others. There is something wrong with the algorithm. It doesn’t matter if the players take turns winning. If one player is winning or only scoring 0-3 points in every round, something is off. ### 3/5 — Good but better with a few changes. *2025-11-17, version 4.6.0* I enjoy playing this, took a bit of time to figure out the methods to move cards etc.. The only thing is, with a discard hand, the wild should count as point value, in the total left against you. Only have a choice to pick the point value, not the value of the actual card. ### 1/5 — The AI needs improving *2025-09-11, version 4.5.3* I have played 5 games and each time the same AI player has won. Goes out more times than any other player. EVEN if another player goes out, still had 0 score in their hand. Law of averages says this is not possible. I will play another couple of games and if the same result will delete as there is no fun when the end result is known before you start. So far a very disappointing app. ### 1/5 — Fix problem *2025-09-04, version 4.5.3* Can’t see all cards, fix it ### 1/5 — Love the game but.... *2025-08-30, version 4.5.3* I play this game with my MIL and was going to use this to brush up On my skills but one problem.... after the 6th round can't see all my cards . I even tried putting it longs ways but won't turn ## Frequently asked questions about Three ### What is Three-Thirteen Rummy?
