In addition to adding another level of difficulty, this requirement pushes players to arrange their cards in novel ways. There is also the popular variation known as "Gin Rummy," which focuses on creating runs and serummylts while reducing deadwood, or unmatched cards that don't help with melds. When a player thinks their hand contains less deadwood overall than their opponent's, they try to "knock". Those who like competitive gameplay will find this version appealing because it emphasizes strategic play and risk assessment. Gaining proficiency in Color Rummy requires observation, practice, and a readiness to pick up new skills from every match.
