While a run is made up of three or more consecutive cards of the same suit, a set is made up of three or four cards of the same rank but different suits. Different variations of the game, like Gin Rummrummyaloy, Indian Rummy, or Kalooki, may have slightly different rules and can be played with two or more players. Depending on the variation, players are initially dealt a set number of cards, usually seven or ten. One face-up card initiates the discard pile, while the remaining cards form a draw pile. One card is discarded from each player's hand after they alternately draw from the draw or discard pile.
