Dealing is not fair

I played several rounds and I like the no ads and the helpful meld option. Trying to move the cards manually was pretty frustrating. I don’t know if I’ll keep this app because the deals seem pretty unbalanced. Computer opponents seem to rarely get stuck with lots of cards and seem to get wins within one or two deals.

Response from developer

The deck is shuffled randomly before each deal using a built-in Apple Swift shuffle function. Cards are dealt off the top. All you are seeing is random chance. For more on this, see “Gambler’s Fallacy”. You can also look up IOS Swift Shuffle function for a technical explanation of the algorithm it uses. Admittedly, moving cards manually takes some "dexterity". I have released an updated version, 4.8.0, which should make this easier.

It is nice, but . . .

It is a nice game but I have found that the game closes out and you have to start at the beginning when something as simple as moving cards around in you hand causes it to change screens (because you are working so close to the bottom of the screen). When you pull the screen back, it goes from the game in progress to the start screen, ready to play round 1.

Thank you for reporting this. I have released an updated version, 4.8.0, which hopefully eliminates this behavior.

HARD TO USE

Very hard to use and move cards around. It crashes a lot too.

Hard to win against computer players

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.

FAQ

What is Three-Thirteen Rummy?

Three-Thirteen Rummy is a digital card game where players draw and discard cards to form melds. A meld is either a set of three or more cards of the same rank, or a run of three or more cards in sequence and of the same suit. The game is played against three AI opponents over eleven rounds.

How do you win Three-Thirteen Rummy?

The objective is to have the lowest score after all eleven rounds are completed. Players score points for cards left in their hand that are not part of a meld. The player with the fewest points at the end of the game is the winner.

What are the wildcards in Three-Thirteen Rummy?

In each round, the card number matching the number of cards dealt to players is wild. For example, Threes are wild in Round 1. Jacks, Queens, and Kings are wild in later rounds. If Jokers are added, they are wild in every round. Wildcards can substitute for any card to help form melds.

Is Three-Thirteen Rummy free to play?

Yes, Three-Thirteen Rummy is completely free to play. The application does not feature any in-app advertising or in-app purchases, providing an uninterrupted gaming experience.

What are the scoring rules for un-melded cards?

Numbered cards 2-10 are worth their face value. Jacks, Queens, and Kings are worth 10 points each. Aces count as 1 point when played low. Wildcards not used in a meld are worth 15 points, and Jokers not in a meld are worth 20 points.
