Definition & Bedeutung von "rummy"

What is "rummy"?

Rummy is a popular card game that likely originated in the early 19th century in Mexico or China. It is usually played by two to six players using a standard deck of cards. The goal is to form sets of three or more cards of the same rank or sequences of three or more cards in the same suit. Players take turns drawing and discarding cards, trying to improve their hand by forming these combinations. The game ends when a player has formed valid combinations with all of their cards and discards their last card. Points are scored based on the cards left in the other players' hands.
