Combining classic rummy rules with original alien-themed twists makes playing Extraterrestrial Rummy an entertaining experience. Two to six players can usually play the game, & each player is dealt a hand of cards with different alien spemgm slots logincies, spaceships, & cosmic objects on them. Forming runs or sets of cards according to predetermined standards, like matching colors or numerical sequences, is the aim. As they strategically prevent opponents from finishing their sets, players take turns drawing cards from the discard pile or the deck in an effort to strengthen their hands. Until one player successfully melds every card in their deck, the round is declared over and "Extraterrestrial Victory!" is declared.
