The main objective of rummy is to form valid combinations of sets and sequences using all cards dealt to the player and finish their game first among all opponents to win the game.
The winner receives zero points and the opponents receive penalty points based on the idle cards that the player failed to use to form any combination. The popularity of rummy has also led to the birth of scores of variants, however, the most popular form of rummy played in India, be it in home games or in online rummy sites are 13 card rummy and 21 card rummy. Other sub variants that are easy to play and are quite fun are Points rummy, Gin rummy, Deals Rummy and Pool Rummy.
Poker is also a card game that is played by wagering bets to make the strongest hand combination based on the common poker hand rankings. Every hand is played for four fixed rounds where each player receive two hole cards (face down) that they need to combine with three community cards from the board that are revealed after round after round. Players have to make complicated and highly calculated actions based on the probabilities of winning that hand.
