The game of Rummy can be described as a combination of luck, skill, and strategy. A number of sets or ‘boards’ are used for the game, each having its own unique characteristics. The game begins by each player receiving a ‘card pack’, which they must follow suit by placing the cards of the same suit on the table. There is a specific order in which the cards must be placed, with the first set on the left-hand side of the table and the last set on the right-hand side. There is also a specific way of dealing the cards, which can be changed according to the rules.
