Three or more cards of the same rank make up a set, & three or more consecutive cards of the same suit make up a sequence. Depending on the version being played, each player starts the game with a set numrummy 41ber of cards. Once a card is face-up, it starts the discard pile. The remaining cards make up the draw pile. Each player discards one card from their hand after selecting one card at a time from the draw or discard pile. Until a player successfully creates sets and sequences with all of their cards and exits the game, or until the draw pile runs out and no more moves are possible, the game will continue.
