Welcome to the spell weaving world of card gaming! • Whether you are a connoisseur or a novice, you will be amazed to know some mind blowing facts about rummy games, one of the oldest and widely popular card games not just in India but the whole world. • So let’s take the plunge and delve deeper into the ocean of knowledge.
Rummy Has Made a Magnificent Comeback Card gaming was literally facing the threat of extinction with the new tech-savvy generation lapping up the new-age digital games. Players were bidding adieu to the old-world charm of Indian rummy, and the elderly playing it once in a while in clubs and social get-togethers. However, thanks to the same technology that has made its revival possible; in fact it has enabled this brain-storming game take the world by storm. Now, it is a sporting platform for the young budding players and the old aficionados alike. Anyway you look at it; you can’t stop gushing over it.
How Marvellous Is This Game Ever wondered what can be more to this innocuous and amusing game of cards? There is much more than what meets the eye. It sharpens not only your memory, but also your reflexes. It works wonders for your cognitive skills, checks your mathematical genius and lo and behold; it helps you to fill your coffers too. And that’s not all. Something else also goes on in the background - your stress is vanishing or it is definitely making you adept at learning to manage stress. That’s the beauty of it.
Can You Guess Rummy Avatars Albeit the indigenous version of the game finds favour with most enthusiasts, it has more than 20 different variants; some of them being 13 card Indian rummy, 21 card rummy, Gin rummy, Three Thirteen, Penang, Canasta and Kalooki. How about it? Isn’t it quite a thought-provoking discovery! Let me reveal another fact- while Indians prefer 13 card rummy, Gin rummy is a favourite among the US denizens. And yes, the game made its presence felt in society in both nations when it was showcased in TV shows and movies in the 1960’s and 70’s.
What’s in a Name Shakespeare once said, “What’s in a name?”, but still most people are pretty particular about their names. You might link the name of the game with ‘Rum’, and if you think so, you are quite right. ‘Rum’ is a UK slang meaning odd or peculiar and that is how the game was perceived in the beginning; but that is not all. It is also perceived that the game was played for RUM and whosoever lost would pay for the next round of the intoxicating drink. However, it is a different matter that ever since their evolution, rummy games and especially Indian rummy, have been popular with the masses. Everybody is going gaga over them.
