In India & other South Asian countries, Indian Rummy, or Paplu, is a well-liked variant of the card game. Two to six players and two decks of 52 playing cards—jokers includjoyrummyed—are usually needed to play this game. Just like in Classic Rummy, the goal of Indian Rummy is to form sets and runs, but the addition of jokers to the game presents an additional challenge. Thirteen cards are dealt to each player at the start of the game; the remaining cards are then arranged face down on the table to form the draw pile.
