One card is dealt face-up to begin the discard pile, and the other cards form the draw pile. Players attempt to form valid sets (three or four cards of the same rank) or runs (three or more consecutive cards of the same suit) by drawing cards in turn from either the drsatta kighaw or discard piles. The goal is to minimize the number of points you have in your hand when a player is eliminated by melding all of your cards into these combinations. The focus on strategic play and decision-making that distinguishes Royally Rummy from its conventional counterpart. The moves of their opponents must be closely observed by players in addition to their own hands. Every turn is excitingly tense due to players' keen consideration of their options before drawing or discarding cards because of this increased awareness.
