Continental Rummy (also called Continental, May I?, and Double-deck rummy) is a progressive partnership Rummy card game related to Rumino. It is considered the forerunner of the whole family of rummy games using two packs of cards as one. Its name derive from the fact that it is played throughout the United States, Mexico, Canada, and also in South America.〔Scarne, John (''Scarne on Card Games: How to Play and Win at Poker, Pinochle, Blackjack, Gin and Other Popular Card Games'' ) pg. 99 Dover Publications (2004) ISBN 0-486-43603-9〕 According to Albert Morehead, it was "at one time the most popular form of Rummy in women's afternoon games, until in 1950 it lost out to Canasta." ==Object== The object of Continental Rummy is to be the player with the fewest amount of penalty points after playing all seven hands. Everyone draws 1 card, the high card deals, and the subsequent deals are passed to the left. Two 52-card decks are used plus 2 Jokers per deck. The number of decks used is determined by dividing the number of players by 2 and rounding up, if needed. For example: *4 players use 2 decks *6 players use 3 decks *8 players use 4 decks Each player is dealt 12 cards, the remaining stock pile is set on the table. Jokers and red Aces are wild. After a card is drawn, one must be discarded, and the next player to the left has the option of drawing either the top discard or top stock card then he must discard. A set consists of three or more cards of the same face value, e.g., three queens, or three aces, or three sevens. A run consists of four or more cards of the same suit, in sequence. If there is an ace in the run, it can serve as either high card or low card, but not both in the same run. No run may contain more than 13 cards. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Continental Rummy」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
