How Cardlyst handles it
- Tracks penalty points per round for cards remaining in hand
- Standard Rummy: lowest total when someone reaches the target loses; 500 Rum: highest total wins
- Tracks dealer rotation
Setup options
- Variant — Standard Rummy (low wins) or 500 Rum (high wins)
- Target score — presets adjust per variant, or set a custom value
- Ace value — always 1, always 11, or player’s choice each round
- Face card value — 10 each (standard) or face value (J=11, Q=12, K=13)
- Joker value — not used, 15 points, or 20 points
