Private Rummy

Players:
Private Rummy can be played with 2 to 6 players.
Card Ranking:
Cards are ranked in the following order:

Ace, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, Jack, Queen, King.
Game Setup:

Deck:
A standard 52-card deck is used for 2 to 4 players. For 5 or more players, two decks shuffled together are used.
Jokers:
In private games, jokers are often used. The number of jokers used can vary; typically, two jokers are used per deck.
Dealing Cards:
For 2 players, each player is dealt 10 cards. For 3-4 players, each player is dealt 10 cards. For 5-6 players, each player is dealt 6 cards.
Remaining Cards:
The remaining cards form the draw pile, and one card is placed face up next to it to start the discard pile.
Objective:
The goal is to arrange the cards in your hand into valid sets and/or runs. A set is a group of 3 or 4 cards of the same rank, and a run is a sequence of 3 or more cards in the same suit.
Gameplay:

Drawing Cards:
On your turn, you can draw a card from the draw pile or the discard pile. If you draw from the discard pile, you must use that card to form a set or run.
Discarding Cards:
At the end of your turn, you must discard a card to the discard pile.
Arranging Sets and Runs:
You can lay down your sets and runs on the table once you have a valid combination.
Ending a Round:
When a player forms all their cards into valid sets/runs and discards their last card, the round ends.
Scoring:
Face cards (Jack, Queen, King) are worth 10 points each. Number cards are worth their face value. Aces are worth 10 points each. Jokers are typically worth zero points.
Winning:
The game usually consists of several rounds. The player with the lowest score at the end of the agreed-upon number of rounds is the winner.
House Rules:
Private Rummy often involves house rules that players agree upon before starting the game. These can include rules about jokers, scoring, and other variations.
