Okey which is pronounced as Okay has arrived at Rummy Royal. This online rummy version is actually a Turkish variation of rummy and it is played with small ivory tiles. A standard set of tiles for this game comes with two black ones which are similar to jokers in a standard deck of cards.
This new variation of the online rummy is proving to be a huge success and it is a great game to play. The new Turkish rummy game can be a little confusing for experienced Kalooki players who are used to using their jokers but once you get the hang of this new online rummy variation it really is great fun. This game is a strategy centred game that is recommended to most attentive and patient players.
There are a number of differences in this game and one of these is the fact that you can only lay off your cards when all of them are organized in runs and sets in your hand. The cards in your hand don’t carry penalty points and the game ends with a -10, -20 or -40 score.
If you decide to give this game a try you really will need to pay more attention to your opponent and what they discard and what their desired tiles are. Your opponent can only lay down tiles when they finish collecting tiles and this really does keep the suspense high in the game until the final play.
Turk Rummy as it is being commonly called isn’t just about sets and runs either. Players can win with 7 identical pairs. This is something that you will need to keep in mind when you are trying to figure out what your opponent is looking for.
It is a rather complicated game to try and explain in a blog post and the best thing to do would be to visit the Rummy Royal website and watch a demo of this game. You can also practice this game for free on the Rummy Royal website too and the practice games come with in game instructions and strategic recommendations so that you can learn as you play.
Until next time,
Deal Those Cards,
