Kalooki
A card game similar to Rummy, with a number of minor exceptions, and often played with wild cards.
Kalooki, also spelled as Kaluki or Kalooki Rummy, is a card game that is a variant of Rummy. It is typically played with two decks of cards, including jokers, and can accommodate a varying number of players, usually between 2 to 8. The objective of the game is to form sets and runs of cards to score points, with players aiming to get rid of all their cards by melding them into valid combinations.
The game involves drawing and discarding cards, and players can also use jokers as wild cards to substitute for other cards in their sets or runs. Kalooki is popular in various regions and may have different local rules and variations, but the core gameplay revolves around strategy, skill, and a bit of luck. It's often played in social settings and can be a fun and engaging way to spend time with friends or family.
