About Royals Rummy

Royals Rummy is a family of card games for serious card players.
For the half century since its invention by Devin Carroll with his brothers, family and friends have enjoyed these elaborate variants of Rummy. Now we are offering these games to the world.

Players battle to accumulate Royals from their Home House, so they can earn privileges including permission to meld, draw a bundle of cards from the discard pile, or end a round. But watch out for the Assassins and Sneaks.

• Battle Royals is for two players.
• Alliance Royals has four players on two teams.
• Marriage Royals has three players who form shifting alliances.

You can make your own Royals Rummy deck by combining a Rummy deck with a Pinochle deck. But it’s more fun to order our new deck with Animal Kingdom suits, designed with charming artwork by Madeline Carroll.

The rules are kind of complicated. Learn more about the game from our book- How to Play Royals Rummy: Rules and Tactics.
