The goal is simple: using the cards that are dealt to them, players must form sets and runs. While a run is made up of three or more consecutive cards of the same suit, a set is mateen pattade up of three or four cards of the same rank but different suits. A standard 52-card deck is used in this game, which usually has two to six players. However, in some variations, jokers may be used as wild cards. A set number of cards—typically seven or ten, depending on the number of players—are dealt to each player at the start of a game of Rummy Global.
