We feel the same way I know playing rummy when a group with friends at home to have fun, so I think in each region there must be different variants in playing, not only in general, will remain with modifications now make us know better how to play isn't it? only one variant even more certainly with online rummy will feel very different if we compare it.
But we see in the article how to understand it about rummy and now being connected online is much more practical isn't it.
I searched it on google and Rummy has different varieties depending on which country it originated from. I'll list some of them that are often mentioned on different websites.
Indian RummyIndian Rummy is the most played game online. It is a card game in India with little variation from the original rummy. It is a popular game that involves making sets out of 13 cards given to each of the players.
Dummy RummyThis originated in the US and played in many parts of the world. It is a game of 2-4 players. It uses two standard decks of cards with 4 Jokers so that there are 108 cards in total. Number ‘2’ cards are treated as wild card Jokers.
CanastaA form of Rummy that is quite popular in Spain. In this variant, there are a total of 4 jokers that are used. All the 4 jokers as well as all the 2s in the deck are treated the way wild cards are treated. Players must create melds or sets of 7 cards and go all out while playing.
Shanghai RummyThis variant of rummy is evolved from the contract rummy variant and is believed to be originated in China and hence the name. The game play of the Shanghai rummy is simple and similar to the contract rummy. 2 decks of cards are used to play the game for 2 to 4 players. Every player in the game is dealt with 11 cards unlike the 13 cards in the Indian Rummy game.
There are also other types of rummy like Kalooki, 500 Rummy, Oklahoma Rummy, Contract Rummy, Dummy Rummy, and many more to mention. This game is not that popular in our country, and I'm now curious why it has different varieties. Where did this game really originated and why it has evolved in different types of rummy.
