How do you play Push rummy?

Answer 1

I was taught this way. Use 2 standard decks including jokers, for 108 cards. Two's and jokers are wild. There are 6 hands. Each player is dealt 7 cards, one turned over in discard pile. the first player either takes that card or pushes it to player on his left placing the next card in the stock face down on that to push and then takes the nextcard off of the stock pile. Play continues like this so there is no accumulating discard pile. The hands go like this.

1. 2 sets of 3

2. run of 4 (same suit) and set of 3

3. 2 runs of 4

4. 3 sets of 3

5. run of 7

6. set of 8

You have to have all required sets or runs to lay down and once you lay down you can play anything, 3 card runs or 3 or more card sets. You can play off anyone else who is down.

scoring: face cards and tens are 10 pts., aces and two's are 20 pts., jokers are 50 pts. 3 - 9's are 5 pts.
