How to play Petal Rummy
Goal. Be the first to play every tile from your rack, three rounds running if you can. The highest total after three rounds wins.
Tiles and setup
- 106 tiles: the numbers 1 to 13 in four colours — Rose, Fern, Iris and Marigold — two of each, plus two jokers (the bees). Each colour also has its own plant mark.
- Two to four players. Everyone draws 14 tiles onto a private rack; the rest form the pool. You see how many tiles the others hold, never which.
Melds
- A set is three or four tiles of the same number, each in a different colour.
- A run is three or more consecutive numbers in one colour. 1 is always low: 12-13-1 is not a run.
- A bee stands for any tile that is missing from a set or run.
| Tiles | Meld? |
|---|---|
| Rose 7 · Fern 7 · Iris 7 | Set, 21 points |
| Fern 4 · Fern 5 · Fern 6 · Fern 7 | Run, 22 points |
| Iris 9 · Bee · Iris 11 | Run: the bee is Iris 10, 30 points |
| Rose 7 · Rose 7 · Iris 7 | No: two tiles of one colour |
| Marigold 12 · Marigold 13 · Marigold 1 | No: runs do not wrap |
On your turn
- Either play tiles from your rack, or draw one tile from the pool. Drawing ends your turn, and you may draw even when you could play.
- Your first play of a round is the opening: new melds made only from your own rack that add up to at least 30 points. A tile counts its number and a bee counts the tile it stands for. Until you have opened you may not touch melds on the table.
- After opening, the whole table is yours to rearrange. Add tiles to melds, split a run, take a tile from a long meld to build another, join melds, move a bee to a new place.
- Three things must hold when you end the turn: you added at least one tile from your rack, every tile that was on the table is still on the table, and every meld is a valid set or run. Tiles never go back from the table to a rack.
- To move tiles, tap them and then tap the + beside a meld or New meld; or drag them. Undo turn puts everything back. End turn is available once the table is valid.
| Before | After |
|---|---|
| Rose 3 · 4 · 5 · 6 | Rose 3 · 4 · 5 |
| Fern 7 · Iris 7 · Marigold 7 | Fern 7 · Iris 7 · Marigold 7 |
| Rack: Fern 6 · Iris 6 | Rose 6 · Fern 6 · Iris 6 |
Bees (jokers)
- A bee on the table can be moved like any other tile once you have opened: put the tile it stood for in its place, or rebuild the melds around it. It must still be part of a valid meld at the end of your turn.
- A bee left on your rack when a round ends costs 30 points.
End of a round
- The first player to empty their rack wins the round and scores the total of all the tiles left on the other racks. Everyone else loses the total of their own rack.
- When the pool is empty you play or pass. If every player passes in turn, the round is blocked: the lowest rack wins the difference to each other rack, and each other player loses that difference. If the lowest racks tie, nobody gains.
End of the match
- A match is three rounds. The opening turn passes to the next player each round. The highest total wins; equal totals share the match.
