Rummy
Embrace challenges, enhance your skills, and test your Rummy Skills. There are several varieties of this game but I will tell you the simplest to me. It is a good game with odd number of people. There are variations that include London, 500, Michigan, Gin, or even a board game called Rummikub. Each are fun for there own reason and provide a unique challenge specific to the game, but lets just do a general Rummy here. Play 3 rounds or play to 500 for longer games.

Runs/PAirs
Draw from Face Down or Discard Pile

Card VAlues
Must Play 30 points to start
What are points? 2-9 = 5 pts. 10-K = 10 pts. A = 15 pts. All starting points must come from your hand – you cannot play on others. In order to go out you are looking for 3 cards that are all pairs (Seven of Clubs, Seven of Diamonds, Seven of Hearts) – or you are looking for a run of 3 ( 10 J Q of Diamonds). Runs cannot runaround start at 2 and end at Ace.
Discard
End of Turn
Discard a Card at the end of your turn. It may hurt. It may play into the pile. You may run the risk of giving cards. When a player is out of cards – you subtract the value of your hand vs the value of the cards on the table
