Objective: To be the first player to get rid of all the cards in your hand. The winner is the player that gets rid of all of his cards except one, which he then discards into the discard pile at the end of his turn, before his opponents does. A player can get rid of his cards by forming melds of runs or sets in the melding area. At Rummy Royal you will find a great tutorial so you need not worry about knowing the rules.

The Goal: The winner of the hand is the first player to lay down all of the cards in his hand onto the melding area. They must then discard their last card onto the discard pile. Melding, as mentioned earlier, can be done by forming sequences of sets and runs. Laying down, as will be shown below, can be done gradually or all at once – rewarding the winner with different levels leverage.
