Liverpool rummy is a multi-player, multi-round card game similar to other variants of rummy that adds features like buying and going out. It is played the same as Contract rummy, except that if a player manages to cut the exact number of cards required to deal the hand and leave a face-up card, then the cutting player's score is reduced by 50 points.
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.
After a card is drawn, one must be discarded, and the next player to the left has the option of drawing either the top discard or top stock card then they must discard. A set consists of three or more cards of the same face value, e.g., three queens, or three aces, or three sevens.

Robbers' rummy is a card game for two or more players. It is a variant of German Rummy dating to the early 20th century. [2] Being derived from normal rummy, it emphasises arrangement of cards based on card matching rules (generally simplified, but thereby no less challenging), while abandoning the notions of card discards and scoring entirely.
The most basic thing about Gin Rummy is that players take turns drawing and/or discarding cards with the goal of getting certain "melds" and chucking "deadwood".
The players draw for deal, low dealing first. Ace is the lowest card in the draw. The dealer shuffles, and the player to the right cuts. The dealer completes the cut and deals cards one at a time to each player face down, clockwise starting at the dealer's left. The number of cards dealt depends on the number of players.
