Pits (card game) Pits (card game) Pits is a five player card game, a cross between whist and rummy, with the objective of playing all your cards first. It is played with a 54 card pack (4 suits and 2 jokers). Threes are low, Aces high, Twos even higher and Jokers highest. Once all the cards are dealt (the dealer getting 10, the others 11), the dealer plays a meld; one of a singleton, "n" of a kind, a run of 3 or more singletons or a run of three or more "n" of a kinds. For example a run of 4 pairs
Indian Rummy Scoring is generally rounded off to the nearest five (for example, 62 points becomes 60). The three most popular Indian Rummy Variants that follow a similar pattern of play, based on the draw and discard of cards are: In addition to the standard jokers in the deck, one player selects a card out of the stock. It is called a wild card joker. There is a total of 5 Joker cards, of which 4 Jokers can be used by players in the game. One Joker lies turned up cross under the closed deck so that all players can see it.
