Three or more consecutive cards of the same suit make up a run, whereas three or four cards of the same rank but different suits make up a set. Depending on the particular variation being played, such as Gin Rummy, Istta kigndian Rummy, or Kalooki, the rules may differ slightly, & the game can be played with two or more players. Players are dealt a predetermined number of cards to start playing rummy, with the remaining cards creating a draw pile. To make a discard pile, the top card from the draw pile is positioned face-up. In order to form valid sets and runs and improve their hands, players alternately draw cards from the draw or discard pile.
