A standard 52-card deck is used to play Rummy Game 51, a card game that usually has between two and six players. Forming sets (three or four cards of the viking slotssame rank) and runs (three or more consecutive cards of the same suit) with the cards in one's hand is the aim of this game. Each player receives a hand of cards at the start of the game. Starting with the top card turned face-up, the remaining cards form a face-down draw pile, and the discard pile begins.
