remi

(Translation, Yugoslavia)

A card game, probably derived (if not almost identical) to gin rummy. Can be played with one or two decks, jokers included (should be six of them), with between two and four players. Perhaps five would work with three decks. The single-deck version had slightly different rules, so the game would actually finish before the deck is exhausted, as each move is accomplished by pulling one out of it and discarding it on the pile, and the pile is never reused.

The structure of the game is similar to canasta, except the scoring is different and combinations of cards of the same suite and consecutive numbers are also OK.
