Rummy is a popular card game played by millions of Indians, who are always eager to score a win. The game has different variants, but the 13 card game is much loved in India. The game's primary objective is to be the fastest in making pure and impure sequences. Players can pick and discard a card from a pile to form these sequences. Here are some simple tricks and tips for setting you ahead of the ‘pack.’ Best tips to win a rummy game:

• Get a pure sequence: A pure sequence is a consecutive set of cards of the same suit and is a game requirement. Hence, getting it quickly is essential. Do not keep on holding on to cards for longer than necessary in the hopes of making a sequence. If you have a 3H, 5H, and 6H and get a 7H, then discard 3.
• Know your opponent: Keep track of what cards your opponent discards and picks. It gives you an insight into what cards they hold and their pattern of play.
• Discard high-value cards: Some people keep high-value cards, hoping to use them later in a sequence, but that is a wrong move as they eat away into your score if your opponent declares.
• Sort option: use the option to set out your cards more effectively. You can do it according to the suits. Alternate with a different set of colors to avoid confusion.
• Bluff your opponent by holding onto two-similar cards, and once a sequence is finished, discard the unused ones. Also, do some fishing, and pick up a card you know the opponent needs; this will confuse your opponents.
• Drop cards that are nearer to the chosen Joker. The reason is that it prevents the opponent from using the Joker effectively. For example, if the Joker is 5 of diamonds, then dropping a 4 of a similar suit ensures that the other player finds it difficult to use the Joker.
• Dropping from the game: There are penalties for dropping from an online rummy game, but it is still prudent to use this option in specific scenarios. When you have a weak hand, consider it, or when you find it difficult to form a sequence, use the option of a middle drop (missing after one move).
• Middle cards advantage: Middle cards are the most versatile and help make the maximum number of combinations. Retain your middle cards for longer. The middle cards can be used extensively hence they are instrumental in helping you win
• Practice makes perfect: Use the practice games offered by the platform to learn the game and hone your skills.
• Jokers and how to use them: Use the Joker to complete a sequence set. Make use of a joker when making a higher points sequence. Avoid using it in a natural sequence.

Please note: These are just tips to help you play better but are no guarantee of a win.
