About this game

New! You can play with friends or computer controlled AI bots, or both.

Shanghai Rummy, aka California Rummy is a form of contract rummy where you play 7 hands (or phases) and try to play all your cards and get the lowest score.

K9 Shanghai Rum is a puppy-themed version where you play against 3 AI opponents. To measure your progress, you will be training a puppy which will advance through its lessons as you learn Shanghai Rummy. Puppy raising tips come from 16 years of service-dog training experience.

This is a free, fun, table card game in the rummy family similar to Gin.

Ratings and reviews

the scoring is different then how I played with my grandmother. But that is minor. A bigger issue for me is that I was not able to play the joker where I wanted at the lower end of a run when I could've gone out. The joker went to the opposite end and I could not move it. To keep the game moving, I was forced to discard. I should be able to place the joker on one end of the run or another.

EDIT: I did find a bug - I'm able to lay down on others' melds even when it's not my turn. -- surprisingly this is the only downloadable app that I found of Shanghai rummy! the opponents are honestly really smart compared to other browser versions I've played, which I enjoy. this app has a silly old style UI but honestly in my opinion it adds to its charm haha. I love the dog trick/training context, and the customizability of opponents. thanks for making it!

Fantastic Job. This is the only Shanghai app that actually works properly and is easy to understand. I paid for ad free to enjoy more. Our family has been playing Shanghai for over 50 years at the family cabin. I will email a few minor suggestions. Thank you!!
