500 Rummy

Meld your cards and race to 500 points

About 500 Rummy

500 Rummy is a classic rummy card game where 2–6 players draw and discard to build melds on the table. Unlike Gin Rummy, melds are laid down for all to see — and players can extend existing melds. The first player to reach 500 points wins.

Objective

Be the first player to reach 500 points by laying down melds and going out.

How Scorecard tracks 500 Rummy

Each round, players score the point value of their melded cards (number cards = face value, face cards = 10, aces = 15 or 1). Unmelded cards in hand are subtracted from your score. Scores can go negative.

Configurable rules

  • End game mode

    End after a point threshold or a fixed number of rounds.

  • Target score

    The score needed to end the game in points mode (default 500).

  • Going out bonus

    Extra points awarded to the player who empties their hand each round.

  • Negative score floor

    A minimum cumulative score — players cannot go below this value.
