Michigan Rummy

Spillebrettet har 8 felter i ring, i midten av brettet, merket med hvert sitt kort eller kortkombinasjon. Det er "Joker", "hjerter ti", "hjerter knekt", "hjerter dame", "hjerter konge", "hjerter ess", "hjerter dame+konge" og "seks+syv+åtte i alle fire farger". I hvert hjørne er det merket av et av de fire essene.

Ved spillets start får alle spillerne utdelt like mange jetonger.

Før hver runde skal alle spillerne legge ut 1 jetong på hvert av de åtte feltene i midten. Dette er startgebyr - dersom en spiller ikke har åtte jetonger er han ute.

Alle kortene deles ut og det deles alltid ut en bunke mer enn det er antall spillere. F.eks. dersom det er fire spillere deles det ut fem bunker. Den femte bunken er kjøpen. Dersom giveren ikke er fornøyd med korta sine kan han ta kjøpen. Han får selvsagt ikke lov til å se på kortene i kjøpen først. Hvis giveren ikke vil ha kjøpen kan de andre spillerne by på den. Den som byr høyest får bytte ut alle sine kort med de i kjøpen. De orginale kortene til den spilleren som fikk kjøpen legges ut på bordet med billedsiden opp slik at alle kan se de. (Dersom ingen vil ha kjøpen blir det kjøpen som blir lagt ut slik).

Spillets gang

Den som sitter til venstre for giveren begynner med å legge ut sitt minste, svarte kort. Dersom han har flere kort i serie legger han alle disse ut, f.eks kløver tre, fire og fem. Den som har kløver seks legger deretter ut den, og så den som har kløver syv, åtte osv. helt til det stopper fordi neste kort er blant de som ligger på bordet med billedsiden opp (kjøpen eller de orginale kortene til den som fikk kjøpen). Da må den som la ut siste kort legge ut sitt minste røde kort og så bygger man videre på dette på samme måte som med det svarte.

Slik går det annenhver gang i svart og rødt.

Dersom en spiller legger ut et kort (eller kortkombinasjon) som er avmerket på spillebrettet (for eksempel hjerter dame) får vedkommende de jetongene som ligger på dette feltet. Runden avsluttes når en spiller ikke har flere kort igjen. Denne spilleren får da jetongene som ligger på jokerfeltet. De spillerne som har ess igjen må legge jetonger på det felter merket med det/de essene de hadde på hånd.

Hvem vinner?

Vinneren kan kåres på flere måter.

• Man kan spille til det bare er en spiller som har nok jetonger igjen til å starte en ny runde
• Man kan stoppe når første spiller ikke har flere jetonger igjen (vinner er den spilleren med flest jetonger)
• Man kan stoppe etter et visst antall runder og se hvem som har flest jetonger

Hvordan man kårer vinneren samt hvor mye hver jetong skal være verdt bestemmer man før spillet starter.

It's been years since I've played this and recently have looked for the game. We used to put pennies instead of chips in the cups and high winnings would be a dollar or two!! big stakes I'm definitely going to order this game

MY MICHIGAN RUMMY BOARD IS SO OLD ITS DISINTERGRATING. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHERE TO BUY ANOTHER SET.

Barb Paszkowski:

I am unable to find what store carrys Michigan rummy. I live in the Kalamazoo, Mi. area, where can I find Michigan Rummy? When my parents would take us on vacation this was a game we all gathered around the table and played in the evening.

Vern Heineman:

Our board is a home made one we've had for over 50 years. it would never wear out. Have fun.

Bernice Kizart:

I have loved this game, even as a child. I am now looking to purchase some for gifts, but I am having problems locating them. If you have any suggestions, I am very interested.

Linda :

Never played this game before but we are doing this Xmas eve. Thanks for the instructions otherwise we would have tried to wing it.

Larry Root:

I've found diferent versions of the game by doing a Google search, but I'm still looking for the version with the playing surface printed on a heavy plastic sheet that you unfold to nearly cover a card table top. Any suggestions?

Maureen Compton:

We discovered an old board thru a friend (circa 1960s). Green plastic with a "kitty" and a "poker pool" field but it must be a different make/edition from the one you have played. We had no "joker" field or Aces field other than Ace of Spades. Had a blast tho playing for pennies. 1/4/03

Nick scamuffa:

I've looked everywhere and I can not find a store that has michigan rummy in stock. I also need the green one with the Poker and Kitty on it,Any sugestions? I found the other kind on EBAY.

Nancy Owen:

My friend found an excellant brand new wooden Michigan Rummy gameboard at "The Lakes Mall" in Muskegon county at a christmas game store. Not sure if they are still open now that is is Feb. Just thought I'd let ya all know.

Kristen Mozaffari:

I would love to find the green one again. If anyone finds a way to buy it online, it would be great to find that information. Thanks!

Monica Lanoue:

I just dug our old green plastic board out of the cellar and cleaned off inches of dust. I remembered some of the rules but needed a refresher. Thanks for the help.
Big game tonight.

Monica Lanoue:

I have a question is the ace high or low? In the poker pool can it be used as high and kow like regular poker

Karol :

I am looking to buy another Michigan Rummy Game. I have one now, it is worn out. I have looked all over the country, but can not find one available.
Please let me know If I can purchase on. Thank you Karol

how can i order this game by check, item# etc, address to mail to

Karen W.:

There is a simular game called Tripoley or Tripoli. It used to have a green plastic cloth that you layed on the table. You can buy Tripoley from Amazon.com. Also, here is a website that is selling Michigan Rummy. www.abookorgame.com

Barb White:

We just purchased a CHEAP ($2.88)michigan rummy game @ Target....still trying to figure it out!

Kathy H.:

I just found a version at Target also....$2.00. I grew up playing it on vacation, now I'm teaching my kids and husband. Thanks for printing the rules, it's been over 25 years since I've played!

Jennah B:

My granddad used to play this with all my aunts & uncles. He made a board by cutting a round circle out of wood. He then glued cards from an old deck onto it and coated the top of all of it. They played for hours and the board was passed on down the generations. I sure wish my cousin hadn't lost it. My son is in the process of making a new one. Glad I found the original rules. They do differ from the ones found at Target or K-mart.

Anna:

I played Michigan Rummy with my in-laws while my husband and I dated. We had so much fun. My father-in-law was so wonderful, he made a game board for out family. The orginal rules would be helpful.

Becky:

We love this game, too! For a special birthday version of the game, I made a "board" (vinyl like the one we had) and made each section a "store" and called it Mall Rummy. The "stores" reflect the intrests of the birthday guest. Still super fun and an easy way to make our birthday guest feel special!
Thanks for the rules you provided, we sort of forgot!

Mike:

Thank you so much for the rules. I just opened the box and totaly forgot how to play.

Nancy:

I live in St. Petersburg, Fla. area and have checked a few stores, does anyone know what store has this game. Thanks.

Shuane Hill:

My motherinlaw has an old worn game board it's taped up and we are trying desprately to find a new one. Any suggestions?

Winchester:

I found online a good suggestion in leu of buying a game board, Using cards from another deck and placing them on the table for boodle cards!!

Martha Nebeling:

Would like to know where to purchase this game. My children loved it and my grandchildren hearing of their fun, want one to. Please send store name.

Francie:

I made a copy of my brother-in-laws mother's board. I used naugahide ?sp which is a plastic/leather like material you can buy at Wal-Mart. I drew the board with fabric tube paint. It works great!!

fjane:

Look for Tripoli instead of Michigan Rummy.

becky:

Cynthia:

I grew up playing Michigan Rummy,but the board I found if called Tripoly and if green and all the pots are hearts. The old board I learned to play on was white plastic and the money pots were the Ace of spades, King and Queen of diamonds, Queen of clubs, 10 of hearts, King of hearts, Jack of diamonds and 8,9,10 of any suit, and it had a Kitty pot, along with the pot. I would like to find one like it again. Does anyone know where I can purchase it?

Jeannette:

We played this game when we were little. As weare growen up now we started a card night and play rummoli. we can not find Michigan Rummy board anywear. We cheaked Toys R us and they stoped selling it in 1991. We live in Ontario Canada if some one could tell us were else to look we would be very greatful.

Lauren:

The Vermont Country store also sells them on their web site

Joyce Klein:

OK, where can I purchase Tripoli? I have tried and tried and can not find it in any store. Help.

Brenda Hastings:

My 'mat' from the Canadian 'Rummoli' is copyrighted in 1940 ....... that's 66 years ago ....... distributed from Vancouver, Toronto & Montreal, by the 'COPP CLARK PUBLISHING COMPANY'.

stella murray:

Hi thereI am from nz and have played michigan rummy and absolutley love the game. I have been searching for this game for ages it was brought for me from australia and as it has happened wear and tear and completly has now ended up in bits from to much usage. If any one could please assist me on where to purchase one that would be greatly appreciated.Cheers

Debbie B:

Some Toys R Us carry Tripoley Special Edition, but not Michigan Rummy. K Bee (sp) toy stores do not carry either. There are on-line options too. We are going to try and make our own board from a picture I found of Michigan Rummy game. That's the one that I grew up playing with my mom and her friends, and I prefer it over Tripoley.

JD:

Published rules say 3 players minimum. Can this be played by 2? Anyone's opinion or experiences?
