Drop button vs discard button

Keeping a note of consecutive misses

In online rummy you’ve to keep in mind to press the play button once your turn comes up! This is not an issue in case of the traditional rummy version. Rather while playing rummy online, if you miss turn after turn, then after 2 consecutive miss outs, you’ll be automatically dropped out from the game. Sounds unfair? Well, this rule has been made keeping in mind the lack of seriousness exhibited by the online players. The person sitting on the other side of the table has no clue about you or your activities. Hence, repeated misses can make him/her frustrated.

Bonus cards

There’re a few good as well as bad aspects of online rummy. Bonus card button option is one good option! These are like the trump cards that you get when you play online rummy in app. But the numbered bonus cards keep on changing with every round. So, take a note of the same at the very beginning and use it wisely to win the game.

Open pile

This is the place in online rummy where you and your opponents will discard their unwanted cards. There you’ll also get the option of picking up the discarded cards from the pile. So, missing out on this button while playing the game can be a great miss for the players.

What you need to do is keep a sharp eye on the cards and the buttons. Since you’ll be playing in your mobile phones, hence the less screen space may result in missing out or error in typing the right button at the right time. So, always be alert!
