How to Play Rummy with More than Two People

Step-by-Step Guide

1. 1

   Step 1: Player clockwise to dealer looks at his/her cards and grabs a card from either the deck or the card next to the deck.

   No matter if you use your turn to lay something down or not, to finish your turn, lay one card down which is not useful to you. (look ahead and try to figure out a sequence to make with your cards or a set of like cards) The player to the clockwise gets a turn now , He/she can take the top card on the deck, the top card on the pile of thrown out card(s), or take more than one card form the dropped pile.
   
   If the player chooses to take more than one card, which only happens when grabbing form the drop pile, then the player must be able to play the last card, the furthest down in the grabbed cards at that time and must do so.
   
   If this is not possible the player may not grab these. ,,
