While players in Eastern rummy variations may use a different number of cards based on the particular variation being played, in Western rummy variations, players usmpftsually use a standard 52-card deck. For instance, in Chinese rummy, players use a set of 16 cards, whereas in Indian rummy, players use 13. The formation of sets & sequences represents yet another significant distinction. In Western variations of rummy, players usually use cards of the same suit or rank to form sets & sequences.
