A well-liked variant is "Gin Rummy," which prioritizes creating runs and sets while reducing deadwood, or the number of unmatched cards that remain in play at the conclusion of a round. Gin Rummy adds an exciting layer of strategy as players must compare their own hands to those of their opponents. Prummy joulayers aim to "knock" when they think their total deadwood value is lower than their opponent's. An additional interesting variation is "Indian Rummy," which usually uses two decks of cards & permits more intricate melds, such as sequences that can be created using wild cards. This version adds an extra challenge that is appealing to experienced players by frequently requiring players to form at least two sequences, one of which must be pure (without wild cards). Rummy Bash is kept interesting & fun for both novice and expert players by the distinct flavors that each variation adds to the game.
