Using a standard 52-card deck, two to six players can play the card game Ultimate Rummy. Using the cards you currently have in your hand, the object is to lay them on the table in sets (three or four rummy devtacards of the same rank) & runs (three or more consecutive cards of the same suit) to earn points. Depending on the version, each player starts the game with a certain number of cards. The top card is turned face up to begin the discard pile, & the remaining cards make up the draw pile. Each player takes turns drawing a card from the draw or discard pile & then discarding one card from their hand.
