Viennese Rummy It is suitable for two to six players. Each player is dealt ten cards, except for the dealer who receives eleven. Like German Rummy, there are no standardised rules for Viennese Rummy. In fact a raft of almost identical games go under very different names including 101 Rummy and Elimination Rummy. Knock Rummy is a generic name for rummy games where players only reveal their hand at the end of the game. Another very special variant for two people is the popular Gin Rummy. The following rules are therefore not to be regarded as binding in the sense of chess
Viennese Rummy knocker or rummy caller wins the so-called "knock money", i.e. a chip from all other participants still in play. Furthermore, for each player the negative points ("Schlechtpunkte") received in this game are noted and added cumulatively. Once a player has accumulated 101 or more points, they are eliminated; if all but one player is eliminated, the remaining player wins the pot and the game is over. If a player has already accumulated over 81 but not yet 101 negative points, he may 'buy himself back' into the pot by contributing an additional five chips and reducing his bad point score
