Rummy Variations

Gin Rummy is a two-player version where players keep melds hidden and end by knocking or going gin. It is tighter and more defensive than table-meld Rummy.

500 Rummy scores melds over multiple hands and often lets players take more than one card from the discard pile under specific conditions.

Indian Rummy commonly uses two decks and jokers, with players forming required sequences before declaring.

Contract Rummy changes the required melds from round to round, turning the game into a longer progression.
