Tile Rummy joker rules

Two jokers in 106 tiles: what they can stand for, when you may retrieve one, and how Tilehaus treats them in the initial meld.

Play Tile Rummy

Animated how-to: Tile Rummy runs are the same color counting up, sets are the same number in different colors, first play must reach 30 points, empty your rack to win.
Watch once — it loops. The words underneath are if you want them.

Initial meld

A joker takes the point value of the tile it represents in the opening 30, not a flat 30, in the usual published reading. Penalty scoring at the end of the game often still counts an unused joker as 30 against you.

Frequently asked questions

Straight answers to what people search — for Google, voice, and assistants.

Can two jokers make a meld alone?

No. A meld still needs a legal set or run identity of at least three tiles.
