Rummy! A fun game popular with the youngsters, but also played in some card rooms and online. If you want to learn the rules of rummy, you’ve come to the right place.

Since there are many variations of rummy and I can not cover the rules for all of them here(at least not yet), I’ll only present you with the rules to the most popular rummy games. The most popular rummy game is supposed to be Gin Rummy, which is really popular in its country of birth, USA.

Second, more popular in Europe is Kalooki(I played a lot of Kalooki 51 with friends when I was a kid). That would be it, but I’ll throw Rummy 500, Five Crowns and Shanghai Rummy in there as well for good measure.

Rules of the game are as follow- Poker chips are distributed equally to all the players with a minimum of thirty chips per player. Using the royal rummy play board, place a chip on the usual eight sections of the mat and one at the center. As Rummy has spread across the world, a few popular variants have gained traction. I’ll explain the differences between them here: Indian Rummy. This variant follows the same rules as classic rummy, except that each player starts with 13 cards. Indians are mad about rummy. It’s probably the most popular card game on the subcontinent.
