In addition to giving Rummy more depth, this strategic interaction between player choices and card values pushes players to consider their options carefully at all tiall sattames. Melds, which can be either runs or sets, are the fundamental component of Rummy gameplay. Three or four cards of the same rank but different suits make up a set (three Kings from different suits, for example), whereas three or more consecutive cards from the same suit make up a run (four, five, & six of hearts, for example).
