Step 1: Knowing What Rummy Is

Rummy is a matching card game for 2 to 6 players to construct sets or runs of cards.
The game's objective is to create legitimate sets and sequences with your dealt cards.
The player who is first to convert all their cards into legal combinations wins, and the remaining players are playoff, and the underlying process is repeated.

You need to make:
- One pure sequence (without a joker) is worth 0 points.
- Another run (pure or with a Joker)
- The other part can be considered as sets or sequences.

Step 2: Learn the Key Terms

Before we play, it can be good to know some fundamental terminology in Rummy:
- Sequence: 3 or more same suit in a row (ex: 4♦ 5♦ 6♦)
- Pure Sequence: Sequence made without the use of a joker
- Sets: Three or four cards of the same value (e.g., 8♣ 8♦ 8♥)
- Joker: A card that can be utilised to replace any missing card in a sequence or a set (not in pure sequence)
- Drop: Choice to exit the game early and lose fewer points

Step 3: Decide How You Want to Play

Rummy can be played in many different ways- at home with real cards, using Rummy Apps, and online.

Rummy offline (with friends/family):
- Play with a standard deck of cards (with jokers)

For you beginners out there, you need to start with practice games that don't require a lot of money while you get a feel for playing.

Step 4: Know the Basic Rules

This is how a typical Rummy Game is played:
- 13 cards are dealt to each player- it's card collecting time!
- One card is then drawn face-up (open deck), and the remaining is drawn face-down (closed deck).
- A natural joker is randomly chosen.
- You must take one card (from the open or closed deck) on your turn, then discard a card onto the open stack.
- The object of the game is to form sets and/or runs of all 13 cards.
- Whoever does it first and declares wins the game.

Note: One pure sequence is a must for a valid declaration.

Step 5: Play Your Way With Free Games

If you are playing online, make use of some free or practice games. These help you:
- Learn the flow of the game

Try using some beginner strategies like:
- From the pure sequence, the first
