What is Rummy?

Rummy is a popular card game based on matching cards of the same rank or sequence and the same suit. The objective is to form valid sets and sequences before your opponents and declare your hand first.

Objective of the Game

The goal is to arrange all 13 cards in your hand into valid combinations of sequences and/or sets. A valid declaration requires at least two sequences, one of which must be a pure sequence (without a joker).

Card Rules

Sequences: A group of 3 or more consecutive cards of the same suit. (Example: 4♠, 5♠, 6♠)
Pure Sequence: A sequence without any Joker or wild card.
Impure Sequence: A sequence that includes a Joker.
Set: A group of 3 or 4 cards of the same rank but different suits. (Example: 7♣, 7♠, 7♦)
