caption_attribution_description: Deutsch: Gin Rummy English: A completed game of Gin Rummy, showing 3 melds with no deadwood, as well as a glass and bottle of Gin to the right.
context_page_description: Viennese Rummy is a matching card game of the Rummy family for 2-6 people played in continental Europe.
context_section_description: A game continues until one player calls "Rummy" (Rommé), melds ten cards and discards the eleventh. The other players then lay out their cards and count them up as in Gin Rummy, by summing their deadwood, i.e. those that cannot be placed into sets or runs.
  The game can also be ended by "knocking" (klopfen): if a player has fewer than five card points in deadwood (cards left unmelded in the hand
  ), he can knock. He then reveals his hand as in a rummy call and announces his deadwood score. In this case, if a player has knocked, the others can try to improve their hand by drawing and discarding a card. They may not lay cards off on other players' melds. Then they declare their deadwood scores as normal.
