Rummy Drop Tips

[ Haversack ]

Here are a few tips on how to win at Rummy Drop!

  • Try to build runs of cards (rather than 3 of a kind), because runs score more points.
  • To maximize your score, try to build long runs in a single suit and collapse the whole thing at once.  You double your score for every card beyond the 3rd that you collapse, so collapsing 7, 2, 6, 3, 5, 4 is worth a lot more than collapsing 2, 3, 4 and 5, 6, 7 separately.
  • In your mind, try designating a particular range of cards to each stack.  E.g. stack 1 is high clubs, stack 2 is low clubs, stack 3 is high hearts, etc.  Then just sort the incoming cards into the appropriate stack as quickly as possible, without even thinking about it.  Since there are seven stacks, you can almost divide up the entire deck amongst the stacks this way.  Whenever you get a 5 or so cards that won't fit, just use the space bar to skip it!
