In Rummy, making strategic decisions during the game is just as important as creating melds in order to maximize points. A good strategy to get more points is to concentrate on high-value cards when making runs aapknd sets. Prioritizing face cards (Kings, Queens, Jacks) and aces can increase your chances of scoring when you successfully meld them because they have higher point values than numbered cards. Think about how many points you have at any given time as well. If you have a hand full of high-value cards but no melds have formed, it might be time to review your approach and concentrate on getting rid of less valuable cards.
