Both novice and expert players can easily understand the simple setup required to play Rummy Mars 41. Two to six players are usually needed for the game, which uses a standard 52satta king of-card deck. Depending on the number of players, each player is dealt a certain number of cards, typically 10 or 13. Using the cards at hand to create legitimate sets and sequences while controlling the cards that opponents draw from the deck or discard is the goal. One player draws a card at the start of the game from the discard pile or the stockpile.
