Bappa Rummy

Free-to-play rummy card game

Bappa Rummy is a free card game app from Sierra Mench. This adapts the centuries-old rummy card games into a mobile app to allow you and your friends to enjoy hours matching cards. Although it mainly uses Indian terms for the game, it’s still intuitive and easy to learn, especially for those who are already familiar with the game.

As a card gaming app, Bappa Rummy also sports the same familiar layout, as other card games Apex Rummy, Rummy Beauty, or Rummy Palace. This one, however, features a different set of rummy variants for a refreshing experience.

Play rummy with the world

Although rummy card games are primarily known in the Indian subcontinent, it has also enjoyed relative popularity across the world, which is one of the advantages of Bappa Rummy. It maintains a global player base, ensuring a quick matchmaking process. On the other hand, there are no sorting players by skill or experience, which can be intimidating for new players since they risk playing with rummy experts.

In terms of app layout and features, there’s not much to expect. For regular rummy card players, the layout appears unoriginal since it also features the same style and arrangement as its competitors. Even in-game, this app uses the tried-and-tested card gaming layout. On the plus side, it is intuitive and immediately feels familiar to experienced players. A significant difference is that this game features a lot of rummy variants.

Unfortunately, the game also suffers from too many ads. Every time you start or leave a game, or navigate the app, there is a full screen ad that is unskippable for a couple of seconds. Expect a gameplay experience free from interruptions, although navigating the rest of the app can be difficult. Also, while free-to-play, the game limits in-game opportunities for earning apart from winning games, pushing players toward in-app microtransactions.

A massive rummy platform

Whether you’re looking to play with a lot of people or try out different rummy variants, Bappa Rummy is a good app to start with. By using the familiar card game layout, it becomes intuitive to players at the cost of feeling unoriginal. It also maintains a healthy player base, making it easy to join matches. Aside from the frequent ads and the tendency to be addictive, it’s a must-try.
