How to score Rummy 500
At the end of each hand, every player adds up the cards they've laid down in melds and subtracts the cards still in their hand. That can be negative, and that's fine: tap ± in the round sheet.
- Aces: 15 points (1 point if played low in A-2-3, by most house rules)
- Kings, queens, jacks and tens: 10 points
- Two to nine: face value
The first player to reach 500 wins. If two players pass 500 in the same hand, the higher total wins. Playing to a different target, or plain Gin Rummy to 100? Choose Custom and set it.
Questions
Do I need an app or an account?
No. Tally runs in the browser on any phone, tablet or laptop. Add it to your home screen if you play often. There's nothing to sign up for.
What happens if I close the page mid-game?
The game is saved on this device after every round. Open Tally again and you're back where you left off, scores, dealer and all.
I typed a score wrong. Can I fix it?
Tap any round in the scorepad to change it, or use Undo right after adding it. Totals, the leader and the dealer update straight away.
Can I play a game that isn't listed?
Pick Custom and set the rules: end at a target score, after a number of rounds, or never, and whether the highest or lowest score wins. Negative scores work too.
