Rummy

Rummy is a group of matching-card games notable for similar gameplay based on matching cards of the same rank or sequence and same suit.

Objective:

The basic goal in any form of rummy is to build melds which can be either sets (three or four of a kind of the same rank) or runs (three or more sequential cards of the same suit) and either be first to go out or to amass more points than the opposition.

Rank of hands:

Highest to lowest: Ace, King, Queen, Jack, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, Ace

History:

There are two common theories about the origin of Rummy, attributing its origins in either Mexico or China in the nineteenth century.
