GLOSSARY

Dealer: As soon as each player pulls a card from the shuffled deck, the player who receives the card with the lowest value deals the game to the other players. The players themselves choose the next game's dealer.

Declare: When you signal that you have completed placing your cards in the desired sets and sequences. To declare rummy in a 13-card game of rummy, place the 14th card face-down on the discard pile.

Delete/Lay off: The rules of this 13-card rummy game state that each player's turn consists of picking up the fourteenth card whether from the draw pile or the discard pile, using it if necessary, and then discarding it to complete their turn.

Disposal Bin: The card(s) the rummy players discard are gathered into a discard pile. On their turn, a player may choose the top card from the discard pile (this top card is the last card discarded by the opponent).

Time to discard: A traditional rummy game is played against someone else, and there is no time limit on how long players can discard cards. However, in an online game of rummy, there is a time limit on how long players can discard cards if they want to.

Pull Pile: Draw piles consist of cards that are not drawn or dispersed during conventional 13-card rummy games. Each player discards a card from this draw pile. A new draw pile is created if the draw pile runs out of cards. The Discard Pile is reshuffled except for the final card.
