Rummy 51 is the 51-point French rummy, rebuilt to play with friends, wherever you are. RUMMY 51, YOUR GAME WITH FRIENDS Create a game in two seconds, invite your friends by private link (SMS, WhatsApp), and start playing. When someone steps away, the game waits. Play your turn whenever you want. THE FULL 51-POINT RULESET All the classic rules are here: • 51-point first-meld threshold • Pure runs and three-of-a-kind sets • Swappable jokers (reclaim one by laying down the real card) • Layoff onto any meld on the table, yours or your opponents' • Multi-round scoring up to 151 points Plus a tutorial mode for first-time players (or those who need a quick refresher). YOUR RULES Every family plays rummy their own way. Set up your game: • First meld: 30, 40, 51, 61 or 71 points • Game end: 101, 151, 201 or 500 points • Jokers: 0 to 4 • Pure run required on first meld, or not • Waiting turns before you can meld • 100-point forfeit if you never meld • Corsican variant included If you enjoy Rummy 500, Kalooki or traditional French rami, you'll feel at home. SOLO TO LEARN, PRACTICE, OR WHEN YOUR FRIENDS ARE BUSY Four AI levels (Beginner to Expert), to practice or play a quick round when no one's available. Online play is never required. The AI never sees your hand: the deal is random and the rules engine is the same for everyone. LEAGUES AND 2V2 TEAM MODE Climb week after week with your regulars. And with four players, team up in pairs, online, at your own pace.
