Both players reveal their hands when they knock, & the number of deadwoods left in each player's hand determirummyalones how many points they score. Players are kept on their toes by the twist that if the knocker has less deadwood than their opponent, they score points; if the opponent has less deadwood, they score points instead. Players in India and abroad have fallen in love with the popular variation of rummy known as Indian rummy. Jokers, which can be used to replace any card in sets or runs, are wild cards in this game, which is usually played with two decks of cards.
