A classic card game with a long history of appeal throughout the world is rummy noble. Its beginnings can be found in the 19th century, when it most likely developed from the Mexican card game Conquteen patti real apkian. Upon its introduction to Europe and the United States, the game evolved into the variant that is currently known as Rummy Noble. The word "rummy" in the game's name is thought to come from a colloquial term that means strange or eccentric. Initially played with standard playing cards, specialized Rummy Noble decks were later developed to accommodate the game's specific rules & mechanics.
