Description
Introduction
Rummy is a group of skill-based card games. These card games are best played with two to four players. Playing Rummy is fun and is considered the worlds' third most popular game.
The objective of Rummy Games is to be the first to dispose of all the cards in your hand. This is done by picking up and discarding cards, while forming the cards in your hand into melds. The winner of a tournament is the first player to accumulate the highest amount of points, or the last player to stay in the game without being eliminated by exceeding the elimination target score. Scoring charts exist for each of the Rummy card games available.

Legality
Rummy games are skill-based games. This means that in each and every one of them, the skilled player has a significant advantage over a player who chooses his moves randomly.
The rules and nature of the game enable strategic moves which provide the skilled player with an immense advantage. Being sophisticated as they are, leaving much room for developing skills and encouraging a great deal of acquired techniques, the Rummy games enable the skilled player to gather all of these elements to calculate the risks, the timing, anticipate their opponents' moves and perform their moves accordingly - leading to their own victory.
Furthermore, in Rummy games, the players are playing against each other - as opposed to gambling when players play against a dealer or "the house" and are subjected to random odds.
Participating in tournaments of skill-based games such as chess, golf and Rummy is absolutely legal in most of the legal jurisdictions all over the world, and the Rummy games are no exception. Therefore, the Rummy games and tournaments are explicitly not gambling related, and do not pose any legal question.
History
The origins of the Rummy games go back a couple of centuries. There are several versions that outline the development and beginning of the Rummy games. Some of them trace the origins of the Rummy phenomena back to the late 19th century, at New York. Other versions trace the origins of the game to the Orient. The Chinese Mahjong game is based on the same element of drawing and discarding cards as well as many other Chinese card games that go back to the 18th century.
Another version attributes the origins of Rummy games to Spanish communities who immigrated west. The Spanish card game bearing the name of Conquian strikes a great resemblance to the Gin Rummy game and is considered to be the ancestor of all the modern Rummy games. Gin Rummy itself is said to be invented in New York during the first decade of the 20th century. The common assumption regarding the origin of the name for Gin Rummy is concerned with the alcoholic drink. The Gin Rummy game was quickly adopted by the Hollywood elite during the 30s and has become more popular ever since.
