Rummy Hand Checker: what to know before playing
Before making a move, check the cards in view. Check a 13-card Indian Rummy hand for a valid declaration and see its grouping and penalty. Check the relevant controls before continuing. Use the rule sheet as a reference. Enter 13 cards separated by spaces. Use A, 2–10, J, Q, K with S, H, C or D; use JK for a printed joker. Check the relevant controls before continuing.
