Rummoli is a family card game for two to eight people. This Canadian board game, first marketed in 1940 by the Copp Clark Publishing Company of Toronto [1] requires a Rummoli board, a deck of playing cards (52 cards, no jokers), and chips or coins to play. The game is usually played for fun, or for small stakes (e.g. Canadian Dimes).
Dummy rummy is a variation of rummy for two to four players. It is played with two standard decks of cards, including four jokers, for a total of 108 cards. The jokers and twos are wild. It appears to be of American origin and may be copyrighted. [1]
Robbers' rummy is a card game for two or more players. It is a variant of German Rummy dating to the early 20th century. [2] Being derived from normal rummy, it emphasises arrangement of cards based on card matching rules (generally simplified, but thereby no less challenging), while abandoning the notions of card discards and scoring entirely.
Two 52-card decks are used plus two Jokers per deck. The number of decks used additional to the base of two is determined by dividing the number of players by two and rounding up, if needed. For example: 4 players use 2 decks; 5 players use 3 decks; 6 players use 3 decks; 7 players use 4 decks; 8 players use 4 decks
Rummy is a group of games related by the feature of matching cards of the same rank or sequence and same suit. The basic goal in any form of rummy is to build melds which can be either sets (three or four of a kind of the same rank) or runs (three or more sequential cards of the same suit) and either be first to go out or to amass more points than the opposition.
In general, if the card that was discarded by the previous player to end their turn is not needed by the following player for a meld, that following player will draw a new card instead. Regardless of the method in which the card is taken, it is moved into the player's display area and remains face-up for the rest of the game.
500 rum, also called pinochle rummy, Michigan rummy, Persian rummy, rummy 500 or 500 rummy, is a popular variant of rummy. [1] The game of canasta and several other games are believed to have developed from this popular form of rummy.
Adding one or more cards to a combination on the table (example: adding 2 ♠ to 3 ♠ 4 ♠ 5 ♠, and/or adding 7 ♣ to 7 ♥ 7 ♦ 7 ♠) When finished, the current player passes the game to the player on their left. A player who fails to place any cards on the table must draw the top card from the deck and end their turn.
