Kalooki or Kaluki is a card game popularly played in Jamaica. It is sometimes called Jamaican Rummy for similarities in structure the game bears with Contract Rummy or Gin Rummy. The games are, however, different and not to be confused.

These are the rules for the original Kalooki game created, refined, and taught by flight attendants of Air Jamaica in the 1970s and 80s. There are a few variations of the game described in books and on the internet. A similar game is sometimes referred to as "Kalooki 40".

There are usually three to eight players; tournaments are played with four players at each table. Two or more packs of cards are used, depending on the number of players.

The object of the game is to go out by laying down all of the player's cards. The point values of the cards left in a player's hand when someone goes out are:

A "3" is a set of three or more cards of the same rank, such as 5-5-5 or K-K-K-K-K. The suits of the cards do not matter and duplicates are allowed.

A "4" is a run of four or more consecutive cards in the same suit, such as spade7-spade8-spade9-spade10-spadeJ. Aces can be high or low, regardless of their point value, but they cannot be in the middle of a run, so A-2-3-4 and J-Q-K-A are valid, but Q-K-A-2-3 is not.

When more than one "4" is put down by one player, they must be of different suits, and when more than one "3" is put down by one player, they must be of different ranks. In games where three sets of "4" are required a full suit can be used to substitute.

Jokers can be used as wild cards to substitute for any card with the restriction that they are not allowed to 'kiss'. This rule can be further explained as follows:
