Because Rummy Gold is so simple to play, even beginners can learn it, and more experienced players can still benefit from its depth. Making legitimate sets and sequences out of the cards you are dealt is the aim of the gatenpattime. In most cases, players are dealt 13 cards each from a standard deck. After one player draws a card from the deck or the discard pile to start the game, they have a turn in which they can either combine their cards to form legal combinations or discard one card to end their turn. This is how the game goes on until one player declares "Rummy" and wins the round by successfully forming their hand into sets and sequences that are valid.
