Each player is dealt ten cards, except for the dealer who receives eleven. Viennese Rummy is played with two packs of French playing cards of 52 cards and one joker each, making a total of 106 cards. There is also no provision for players having one more go at improving their hand in the event of a knock. Hence it is sometimes called Rummy without Melding ( Rommé ohne Auslegen), although that is strictly a variant of German Rummy where players receive 13, not 10, cards and may knock if they have fewer than 10, not 5, points. Unlike German Rummy, sets and runs of cards are not melded but collected in one's hand until one is able either to declare "Rummy" and lay the hand on the table or to "knock" ( klopfen) and meld all cards except for low-scoring 'deadwood'. ![]() Viennese Rummy ( German: Wiener Rummy) is a matching card game of the Rummy family for 2-6 people played in continental Europe.
