Regulars: Tile Rummy & Friends

Regulars is the classic tile rummy game at a real table: green felt, a wooden rack, and three regulars who play with you — they open, rearrange the table and chat while you think. Play offline against them as long as you like, or online with friends.

WITH FRIENDS

Open a table for 2, 3 or 4 and send its five-letter code or an invitation link, or sit down at a random table of four. Your table plays your house rules, and the regulars fill any empty chair. On the same Wi-Fi no internet is needed: one phone holds the table and nothing passes through our server. Each turn has a 60-second clock, and the other players' moves land on your table the moment their turn ends. If someone's connection drops, a regular covers for them until they come back to their own seat and their own rack. Say hello with eight set phrases; there is no free chat. No adverts at an online table.

THE TABLE IS EVERYONE'S

Lay runs (one color in order) and sets (one number in different colors). Once you have opened, every meld on the table is yours to use: split a run, join two, move a tile from a set to a run — as long as every meld is valid when your turn ends. Drag tiles where you want them and room opens up; double-tap a tile to split its meld there; undo one step, or put the whole turn back.

A TABLE THAT HELPS

Every meld is underlined when it is valid and marked when it is not, with a word on what is wrong. Pick up a tile and the melds it fits light up. Stuck? The hint shows which of your tiles can go down, and a second tap lays out one way to do it. The tiles a player just moved stay marked, so you can follow a rearranged table.

YOUR TABLE, YOUR RULES

Tables play tile rummy their own way, so every rule is a setting: 30 points to open (or 40, 50, or none), open with your own tiles only, split and rearrange or only add, 0 to 2 jokers and taking a joker back by replacing it, what a joker left in hand costs, how the score is kept, what happens when the pool runs out, 2 to 4 players and 1 to 8 hands a game.

THE REGULARS

A cast of twenty-two faces, a new few at the table each game. Easy, normal or hard opponents — the hard ones rearrange the whole table to go out. On your first game, the regular on your left walks you through your first opening.

EVERY HAND EXPLAINED

When a hand ends, one card says who went out and what everyone scores; the score sheet keeps the game hand by hand.

HONEST MONEY

Free — every rule and opponent. An ad only between hands, never during play and never at an online table: no banners, no rewarded video. One purchase, the Regulars Card, removes the ads and adds marble and porcelain tiles and navy and burgundy cloths. Nothing sold changes a hand.

YOUR DATA

Playing alone, everything stays on your phone: settings, your record, a game left halfway. No account, no sign-in. Online, the nickname you choose and your moves go through our server to run the table, and its logs are kept for 30 days; a same-Wi-Fi table goes from phone to phone. The ad SDK uses the Android advertising ID; the privacy policy says exactly what is used and why.

Plays offline, or online with friends. In English and Turkish. Light and dark tables, tablets too, and a shape for each color for color-blind players.
