An Open Deck is where the unwanted cards are discarded during the game play. According to the Indian rummy rule, a card is kept the face open to create the ‘Open Deck’ at the beginning of the game. A wild card Joker is selected at random from the closed deck; this can be used to substitute the missing cards in your sets or sequences.

After a player has played any melds or added to melds, they will discard a card. Players will also discard a card to end their turn if they cannot or wish not to play any cards from hand. all discarded cards are played face up to the discard pile. if a player previously drew the top card from the discard pile, it cannot be re-discarded this turn.
