Rummy is a group of games related by the feature of matching cards of the same rank or sequence and same suit. 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.
For example, in a 10 card deck, if a 7 card cut is made, followed by a 4 card cut, these two consecutive cuts are equivalent to a single cut the size of ((7 + 4) mod 10) = 1. The deck begins in the order, bottom to top, of (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,T). Placing the top seven cards on the deck's bottom puts the deck in the order (4,5,6,7,8,9,T,1,2,3).
The object of the game is to score points as in regular rummy by laying down or laying off cards, initially in groups of matching cards known as melds, with a meld consisting of either: 3 or 4 cards of the same rank (e.g. 8 ♠ 8 ♥ 8 ♣ or 8 ♦ 8 ♠ 8 ♥ 8 ♣) called a set; or in sequences of three or more cards of the same suit (e.g. 8 ...
A deuce in a sequence is not a wildcard if it represents the face value of 2 in the run and is of the same suit.
