Rummy is a family of games where the basic principle is to form sets. These sets are composed of cards of the same rank, type or consecutive cards of the same suit. Some common features that appear in many rummy variants include: the rotation of game play, shuffling of the deck, the dealing of a set number of cards to each player, the presence of a draw pile, the presence of a discard pile, and drawing of cards during a player’s turn. In card form, rummy is one of the most widely known and played games in the world.
