Microsoft Carioca Rummy 1.0.47

AIT Microsoft® Glossaries Team – Shareware – Windows

Microsoft Carioca Rummy is a card game that is played with two or more players. It is similar to traditional Rummy, but with a few modifications to the rules. The game is named after the Brazilian city of Rio de Janeiro, which is also known as "Carioca".

The objective of Microsoft Carioca Rummy is to form sets of cards with the same rank, or sequences of cards in the same suit. The game is played with two decks of cards and each player starts with 11 cards. The remaining cards are placed in the center of the table and a card is turned over to start the discard pile.

  • Players take turns drawing one card from either the deck or the discard pile.
  • If a player can form a set or sequence with the cards in their hand, they can lay them down on the table.
  • A player can also add cards to sets or sequences that are already on the table.
  • If a player cannot or chooses not to lay down any cards, they must discard one card face-up onto the discard pile.
  • If a player has laid down all of their cards and has none left in their hand, they can go out and end the round.

The round ends when a player goes out, or when there are no more cards left in the deck. Players then tally up their points based on the remaining cards in their hand:

  • Numbered cards are worth their face value
  • Face cards (Jacks, Queens, Kings) are worth 10 points each
  • Aces are worth 1 point each

The game continues with additional rounds until a player reaches a predetermined point total. Microsoft Carioca Rummy is a fun and challenging game that requires strategy and skill in order to win.
