Rummy does not impose, as, for example 1 000, a certain number of players for each game. It is practically unlimited. The only rule is to use more decks (one has 52 cards), if the game has more than three participants. Before the game, the number of jokers (two, four or six) is agreed. The aim of the game is to get rid of all your cards. The winner is the person who does this first. The game of rummy begins by drawing cards to select the dealer. This is the player with the highest card. The order is as follows: Joker, Ace, King, Queen, Jack, 10, 9, and so on. If cards of the same value are drawn, suits are used to determine the dealer, in the order spades, hearts, diamonds and clubs. The dealer gives himself 14 cards, and the rest of the players 13. The remaining cards are placed on the stack so that their values are not visible to any player. The dealer shows one card from his deck and puts it on a separate discard pile. Another player draws a card from the stack or the discard pile, then places an card not needed on the discard pile. When the stack is exhausted, the discard pile, minus the last card placed, is shuffled and placed face-down. Winning rummy 500, as well as getting rid of all your cards as soon as possible, consists also of gaining 500 points for a hand. This usually takes a few rounds. Points are earned melding combinations of cards on the table. Each card has a points value (for example, the king, queen and jack are worth ten points). Points are deducted for the cards that you still hold when your opponent ends the hand by getting rid of their last card.

Each player must strive to have in their hand runs, three consecutive cards of the same suit (for example, Q ♥ J ♥ 10 ♥), or three cards of the same value (sets – for example, 8 ♥ 8 ♣ 8 ♠). After completing a sequence, the player can hold it, or put it on the table. In the game of rummy, players can add cards to their opponents’ sequences, in order to get rid of their own cards faster. Jokers may play a major role in a hand, as they can be substitutes for any card. It is rare for a player to beat their opponents in one play. Of greatest importance are perceptiveness and taking advantage of other players’ errors.
