Viennese Rummy Viennese Rummy Viennese Rummy () is a matching card game of the Rummy family for 2-6 people played in continental Europe. Unlike German Rummy, sets and runs of cards are not melded but collected in the player's hand until he is able either to declare "Rummy" and lay his hand on the table or to "knock" ("klopfen") and meld all cards except for low-scoring 'deadwood'. Hence its other name of Rummy without Melding ("Rommé ohne Auslegen"). Viennese Rummy is played with two packs of French playing cards of 52 cards and one joker each, making a total of 106 cards.
