Play Pool Games Online

If you're like me and you're a monster game, you're constantly looking for new places to play games as well as new games to play in general. Recently I came across an online game called Kalooki, "also known as Kalooki, Kaluki, Kaloochi, Caloochi, Kaluga and Kalogghi. There are also different types of Kalooki that follow different rules of engagement, some of the changes include Jamaica, Europe, North America and South Africa. It's a very fun game that has a sort of spin on a card game rummy. Here's a little more about the game below, including an introduction to Kalooki, players and the game / cards, and scoring. I will share the North American version because that's where I'm located. But you can find the info on the other VARAT Pagat/rummy/kaluki2.

- Map Pack includes 108 cards in all
- When two people, 3 or 4 playing a game, players have 15 cards. When 5 play 13 cards each are given, and when there are six players are given 11 cards to each player
- Cards can not be taken from the discard pile until you put your first meld
- Aces may be considered high or low order AKQ and A-2-3 are valid, but 2-AK is not.
- Aces count as 15 points and if you have a wildcard in your hand at the end of the game, he has 25 points
- Once you have done your initial meld you can reuse a Joker merged by the replacement of a valid natural for her
- There is no pool or buy in
- At the end of each hand players scores winning total of all remaining cards in the hands of other players
- The goal of this game is to meld all your cards before anyone else does (which is somewhat like another game called Canasta)
