Rummy Basics
In any variant of Rummy, the main or sole objective is to complete the best combination of the cards in the form of sets or sequence. To win the game, a player needs to place first and then mix the cards in hand correctly as per the rules of the Rummy game.
1.) Sequence
A sequence consists of 3 or more cards of the same family or suit. To place a successful show, a player must have 1 sequence in the whole set.
For example:
A sequence that contains, 5 6 7 and 8 of Spades OR a King, Queen and Joker of Hearts
2.) Set
A set contains a group of 3 or 4 cards with the same value but belongs to a different family/suit.

Rummy can be played with 2 decks of cards and with players ranging between 2 to 6. In every online rummy variant, each player is dealt 13 cards and the objective is to arrange these 13 cards a sequence or a set.
Players pick a card from the un-dealt set after the 13 cards are dealt. As soon as the 13 cards are dealt and then the same player gets rid of the card which has no use to him. The player with the next turn has the option to pick a card from the undealt pile or the one the previous player has discarded. And the game goes on until a player makes a successful show.
