Beanie clarification...

Feek · 26-08-2007, 14:32

If a face up card is picked up, either from the discard pile or from swapping out a card in someone else pile does it have to be played during that players turn, or can it be kept for later use?

It must be played that turn

Aitch is correct !

That's because Beanie is good.

If I can remember all the rules, I might have to teach my parents. Could do with something to jog my memory though.

Thanks, I thought that was correct but wanted confirmation.

We're not the only ones, I've googled it and found a few variations on the rules, an odd one being that if you want a card from the discard pile, you have to take the whole pile!

Another one which I like the sound of is to play an extra one round after having done Kings, back to Aces but all points count as double.

I taught it to some friends on Friday night, and one of them knew that particular variation. Sounds strange but I bet it could be good in practise as with a lot of cards you'd have a great chance to getting rid of a lot of them in one go.

I've played that way before.

Still can't remember what we called it, if we called it something other to Rummy anyway

And Jamie after laughing at me, first link when I google searched states....

Scoring:
The person who beanies gets no score.
cards ace-nine count for 5 points
cards ten-king count for ten points
Beanie card = 25 points, so don't hold onto them unnecessarily.

Oooooh the aces one could be interesting !

Feek · 26-08-2007, 16:20

It could make a big difference to the outcome
