Rummy Game Rules

Players: 2–6
Goal: Be the first to get rid of all your cards by forming valid sets and runs.

Setup:

  • Use a standard 52-card deck (plus Jokers if you like wilds).
  • Each player is dealt 7 cards (for 2 players) or 6 cards (for 3–6 players).
  • The rest form a draw pile; turn the top card over to start the discard pile.

Gameplay:

  1. On your turn, draw one card from the draw pile or discard pile.
  2. Try to form:   Sets: 3 or 4 cards of the same rank (e.g., 8♣ 8♦ 8♥     Runs: 3 or more cards in sequence of the same suit (e.g., 5♦ 6♦ 7♦)
  3. You may lay down sets/runs or add to existing ones on the table.
  4. End your turn by discarding one card.

Winning:

  • The first player to “go out” (no cards left) wins the round.
  • Points are counted based on the cards remaining in other players’ hands.
