how is the rummy scoring done in a rummy game? How does the rummy point system work and why does the winner get zero points? These are some common questions that new players and beginners usually have. In a rummy card game, points have a negative value; hence, as per the rummy scoring system, the winner gets zero points. In other words, the losing player gets a penalty on the basis of the ungrouped cards in their hand at the end of a game.

The number cards((2s, 3s, 4s, 5s, 6s, 7s, 8s, 9s, 10s) are worth same as their face value. The face cards (Ks, Qs & Js) and Aces (A’s) are worth 10 points each. Jokers are zero points.

Initial score will be same as the total points of the remaining ungrouped cards, and it will be 80 if total score of your hand is over 80 points. A valid sequence or set is worth 0 score.

After arranging all the cards, a player has to declare his/her cards. If the declaration is valid, the player wins the game and gets 0 rummy points. If other player makes a valid declaration, you will lose the amount decided by the points value and the total score of the unmatched cards on your hand.

If a player makes an invalid declaration, he/she not only loses the game but alsoa gets a penalty of 80 points.

If the losing player has created two sequences including a pure sequence, the rummy points calculation will be based on the remaining cards in his/her hand.

Irrespective of the cards in their hand, losing players can get a maximum of 80 penalty points.

If the cards are not in their favor, players can choose to quit the game and avoid big loss. This can be done by using the “Drop” option.

When a player drops without playing any card, it is considered a first drop. As per the rummy rules points awarded for a first drop are 20.

When a player drops after playing one or more turns, it is a middle drop. Here the player gets a penalty of 40 points.

When a player misses three consecutive turns, he/she is automatically dropped out of the game and he/she gets a penalty of 40 points.

When a player leaves the game after picking a card, it is considered a middle drop. The penalty for a middle drop is 40 points.
