About Rummy

"Your opponents can be up to three virtual players or real players from all over the world. Your task is to be the first to get rid of all the cards, making combinations of them before your opponents. The game is based on the rules of the classic version of Rummy."

How to play Rummy

You can work the whole thing out by playing it. Nothing about the control scheme is unusual; the table below covers all of it. The game runs in portrait, so on a phone you can play one-handed, and on desktop it stays centred rather than stretched out of shape. Take the first run as practice and the second one seriously.

Why it is worth playing

Rummy is the kind of game that fits into a gap between other things. Two minutes is a real session, and so is an hour. It earns the replay rather than demanding it.
