A fixed number of cards are dealt to each player at the start of the game, depending on the particular version being played. With the top card turned face-up to begin the discard pile, the remagameexchange 567ining cards form a face-down draw pile. Each player draws a card from either pile in turn, then discards one card from their hand. The player who forms sets & runs with all of their cards wins the game by declaring "Rummy.". Rummy calls for a combination of strategy and skill. In order to create winning combinations, players need to carefully consider which cards to keep and discard.
