Rummy 51 is a card game that usually has two to six players and is played with a standard 52-card deck. Forming sets (three or four cards of the same rank) and runs (three or more consall rummy mateecutive cards of the same suit) with the cards in one's hand is the aim. The cards that remain form a draw pile, and each player starts the game with a set number of cards. The discard pile begins with the top card in the draw pile being turned face up. Each player discards one card from their hand after drawing cards in turn from either the draw or discard piles.
