While discarding unwanted cards and trying to form valid combinations, players alternately draw from the draw or discard pile. Depending on which version of Rummy Gold is being plsetakingayed, the rules can change slightly, but the fundamental ideas always apply. Players must create legitimate sequences—three or more consecutive cards of the same suit—or sets—three or four cards of the same rank. An additional layer of strategy is added to the game by the inclusion of wild cards, which can be used to replace any card in a set or sequence.
