Rummy is played with 13 cards dealt to each player with the aim of forming valid sets and sequences to 'declare' a winning hand. Players draw and discard cards turn-by-turn, building their hands strategically to meet the rules for valid fusion.
The objective is to create at least two sequences, one of which must be pure (no jokers), while the rest of the cards form sets or additional sequences. The first player to assemble a valid declaration wins the game.

Rummy players aim to form sets and sequences from 13 cards, with pure sequences (without jokers) mandatory for a valid declaration. Scoring points depend on leftover unmatched cards after a player declares, with lower points desirable.
Players get rewarded for valid declarations, and games can be played in score-based formats or elimination pools. Knowing scoring nuances helps players calculate risk and strategize their draws and discards.
