Shanghai Card Game Rules 7 Rounds. Eleven cards are dealt to each player in every deal. As per shanghai rummy rules, a player may ‘buy’ a card.
After the player draws their card, either from the stock or the upcard, he must then right click any card in his hand to discard. The game lasts for 7 rounds and each round varies from each other. Each player gets 11 cards for 10 rounds.
Like in pretty much every other rummy game, the goal of the game is to discard, meld and lay off all the cards in your hand.
The player to the left of the dealer goes first and can either take the discard or take the card off the top of the stack. The seventh round requires 12 cards, and so will require the drawn card plus the 11 cards in the hand in order to meld. There is a limit to the number of buys allowed. Then the extras will need to be laid off as normal for the player to go out and win the round.
