RummGo
A game of Indian rummy — points, pool and deals. Thirteen cards, one joker cut each hand, and the ordinary rules: two sequences to declare, one of them pure.
You can play on your own against the app's bots, at a table with friends who join by a code, or in a tournament. How you are doing is kept as a rating, a place on the leaderboard, a run of days, and badges for the things you have managed.
It is a game of skill. Which cards you are dealt is chance; what you do with them is not, and the rating on the Ranks screen measures exactly that.
Everything in RummGo is free to play. There is nothing to buy, no subscription, and no part of the game held back behind a payment.
We do not take payments, hold balances, or pay anything out, and there is no way to convert anything in the app into money or anything of value outside it. Tournaments are free to enter and the prize is winning them.
There is no advertising in the app, and no advertising or analytics software in it either.
Every hand is shuffled by the server, never by your phone, and the shuffle is recorded with the hand. Nobody at the table — including us — can see another player's cards, and the app is deliberately built not to help you read your own: it will not highlight your jokers or sort your hand into melds for you.
The bots play the same rules you do, from the same information you have. They do not see the deck and they are not given better cards.
You can play without giving us anything. A username is needed to appear on the leaderboard, to play with friends and to enter a tournament; an email address is optional and is only used so you can get back into your account on another device.
What we store is what the game needs: your username and picture, the results of hands you have played, your rating and your place in the rankings, your run of days, the badges you have earned, the tournaments you have entered, and who your friends are. We do not sell any of it, we do not use it for advertising, and we do not hand it to anybody else for their own purposes.
We do not ask for your contacts, your location, your photos, or your microphone, and the app does not collect them.
When you report a bug, we get what you wrote, which build you were on, and what kind of device it was — so that the report can be acted on.
You can close your account from inside the app: You → Information → Close my account. Everything that is about you goes — your name, your picture, your rating, your streak, your badges and your friendships.
What stays is the seats your old games need, under a name nobody can look up, because a hand of rummy is four other people's record as well as yours. It cannot be undone, and you cannot sign back in afterwards.
You must be 13 or older to play, and old enough to agree to this where you live.
Play the game rather than the system: no automating your seat, no playing two seats at one table, no arranging results with another player, and no abusing anybody at a table. We may remove an account that does any of it, and voiding the hands that came of it is part of that.
RummGo is provided as it is. We do not promise it will be available without interruption, free of faults, or that a game in progress will always survive a deploy or a lost connection — this is a young app and it is being tested in the open.
To the extent the law where you live allows it, we are not liable for loss or damage arising from using the app, including lost progress, lost ratings and lost badges. Nothing here takes away a right you have that cannot be taken away.
When these terms change materially the app will say so rather than quietly replacing this page. Carrying on playing after that is how you accept the change.
