Rummy Game Rules and How to Play
Playship Rummy begins with 13 live cards given to every player. Usually, the game uses two decks of cards including printed Jokers. Every game also features wild card Jokers, in which case any card with the same rank regardless of the suit is assigned the wild card Joker designation from the deck of live cards. Sorting and grouping all 13 live cards into sequences of consecutive cards of the same suit or sets of the same ranked card from separate suits is the aim of the game.
