About the Game

Rummy Five is a small-sized rummy game for 2-4 players, played with a 32-card deck. Player's main goal is to make a 5-card combination (a hand of 4 cards plus one drawn from the deck) including a pair and a 3-card run or set, before the others. After the predetermined deals, the player with the highest score wins.

It is also necessary to declare "Go" call or make some special combination to win a deal; however, after calling "Go" you cannot change your hand, or some of high-score combinations are made hard to complete. Some additional calls, "Run", "Set" and "Catch", can be made for capturing other players' discards to make a meld or complete a combination faster.

Rummy Five is a transcription of Xiangqi Mahjong (Chinese Chess Rummy), a Taiwanese traditional game, arranged to be played easily and somewhat well-balanced.
