What does RUMMY mean in Scrabble?
noun
A card game in which players try to form matching sets or runs of cards before their opponents.
Players in rummy take turns drawing from a stock or discard pile, then putting down a card they no longer need, gradually shaping their hand toward a winning arrangement. The game exists in numerous regional and commercial variations, including gin rummy and other spin-offs, each with its own scoring twists. Whoever arranges an entire hand into valid combinations first typically ends the round, with the cards left over counted against the other players. Rummy has stayed popular for generations because newcomers pick up the basic turns quickly, while experienced players still find room to plan several moves ahead.
