Rummy is a specific card game, as well as a genre of card games which involve the same concepts:
- Draw and Discard: Each turn, a player draws one or more cards from either the (concealed) deck or the discard pile, optionally takes some action, and then discards one or more cards.
- Melding: To score points, you must meld groups of cards, such as sets of 3 or more of the same rank, and runs of 3 or more consecutive ranks in the same suit.
