This is the Rummy I used to play:
- 2x52 cards + 6 jokers
- Only cards left on other players hands are scored as negative points. But if you clear all your hand in one go (Handstopp), those points are doubled.
- You could draw the top card of the deck or the top card of the discard only.
- The first cards you play have to have a sum of at least 30 points (or even, as a variant, 30 points in one single set). You may add cards to other players cards or exchange jokers only after this. But if you play "Handstopp", you are not limited by these rules.
As you can see, there are many variants in the Rummy world

But maybe asking for a minimum of points for your first play as a game option is worth a suggestion report?

However, I have to admit since I started to play which is the default game on BGA (Rummy 500, discard open to draw any, scoring played cards and cards in hand), I found it much more fun than the Rummy I used to play
I recommend you to give it a try!

Language is a source of misunderstanding. (Antoine de Saint-Exupery: The Little Prince) But it is also the source of understanding - it all depends on how you use it.
