German Rummy
German Rummy or Rommé (German: Deutsches Rommé or Rommé mit Auslegen) is the most popular form of the worldwide game, Rummy, played in Austria and Germany. It is a game for two to six players and is played with two packs of French playing cards, each comprising 52 regular cards and three jokers. There are no partnerships. In Germany, the Germany Rummy Association (Deutscher Romméverband) is the umbrella organisation for local rummy clubs and organises national competitions. The game is often just known as Rommé in Germany and Rummy in Austria.
The American game of Rummy was derived from Mexican Conquian after 1900 and the name "Rhum" or "Rhummy" had appeared by 1905. As Rommee, the game arrived in Germany from Austria and its rules were first recorded in 1933.
The following rules largely follow Danyliuk and Grupp.
The aim of Rommé is to organise one's hand into sets or runs and to meld them by placing them on the table. The player who is first to meld all his or her cards, wins the game.
Before the first hand begins, the cards are shuffled and laid face down in an arc. Each player draws one card; the player with the highest card selects a seat and is the first dealer. The other players sit to the left of the dealer in the order of the rank of the cards drawn.
The deal changes clockwise after each hand. The dealer reshuffles the cards and has the pack cut by the player to the right. The cards are dealt face down clockwise, each player is dealt thirteen cards in 3 packets of three and 1 packet of four. The remaining cards are placed face down in the middle of the table as a Stoß (i.e. a talon or stock, pronounced "shtowss") and the top card is turned and placed beside the stock to form the waste pile.
Variations: In many cases, the rule is that a player who finds a joker when cutting may keep it. This is known as robbing or plundering (rauben), not to be confused with the rule allowing a joker to be exchanged (see below). In some rules, the top card is not turned but the dealer (or forehand) receives a fourteenth card and is first to play. In this case that player does not draw a card, but simply makes an initial meld if able and discards a card to start the waste pile.
Melds (Figuren) are combinations of at least three cards as follows:
