Also known as Continental.
How to play Continental Rummy
- 1Two to four players use two decks with two jokers; five or six use three decks with three jokers. Everyone gets fifteen cards, and the next card starts the discard pile.
- 2Deuces and jokers are wild: each can stand in for any card.
- 3On your turn, draw from the stock or take the top discard, then discard one card (not the one you just took).
- 4Only runs count: three or more cards in a row in one suit. An ace goes below the 3 or above the king, never both in one run. There are no sets, and nothing is laid down early.
- 5Go out when all fifteen cards after your discard fit into runs. Pick the card to throw and go out.
- 6Going out wins a point from every other player, or two each if you used no wild cards. First to 10 points wins.
