What is Liverpool Rummy?

A rummy game for exactly four players, played over six hands. Each hand has a contract (sets, runs, or both) you must make before you can lay down. These are one family's house rules, so the details may differ a little from the version you grew up with. The rules page has everything.

Where can I play?

On iPhone, Android, and in any modern web browser. The free beta is coming soon: testers get the apps through TestFlight and Google Play before they reach the App Store and Google Play for everyone. Follow our Facebook Page to get the invite.

How much does it cost?

It is free during the beta. The price after launch has not been decided yet. There are no ads, no in-game currency, and no real-money play.

Do I need three other people?

Every game has four seats, but they don't all need people. When you start a game you can fill one, two, or all three other seats with bots, including a solo game against three bots for practice. Games with a bot from the start count toward your practice statistics, kept separately from your main statistics.

Is there a time limit on turns?

No. A game waits as long as it needs to. You get a notification when it is your turn, and if the table is waiting on someone, a player can send them a nudge (at most once every 12 hours).

Why is there no chat?

For safety. Chat between strangers needs constant moderation, and families play this game with children and grandparents at the same table. So there is no chat of any kind: no messages, no emoji, no canned phrases. You see other players' nicknames and moves, and that's all.

What happens if someone leaves a game?

Everyone still at the table votes on whether a bot takes the empty seat. If everyone agrees, a bot finishes the game for them; if anyone declines, the game ends without statistics. Leaving counts as a loss for the player who left.

What do you do with my data?

We keep only what the game needs: your sign-in, your nickname, your games and statistics, your settings, and a device token for notifications if you allow them. Other players only ever see your nickname. Your email address is stored encrypted, and we never sell your data or use it for advertising. The privacy policy has the details.

How do I delete my account?

In the app, open Settings, choose Delete Account, and type DELETE to confirm. If you can't sign in any more, email us. See Delete Your Account for what is deleted.
