If the last card from the stock is pulled, the next person can pull the top card from the discard pile or flip over the discard pile, bypassing a shuffle and taking the new stock’s top card.

When it is a player’s turn, he or she has the choice of taking the top card from the discard pile or the top card from the stock pile to either try to form groups of three of a kind (or more) or, alternatively, form sequences. This second pile is referred to as the discard pile. The top card is flipped over and positioned adjacent to the pile. These cards are referred to as the stock. The leftover cards are positioned face down in the middle of the table. Those in a five or six-player game are provided with half a dozen cards each. A game with three or four people requires the distribution of seven cards to each player. The dealer distributes 10 cards to each player in a two-player game.

The aim of Knock Rummy is to create groups of three of a kind (or more), three cards of the same suit or card sequences of three. Knock Rummy is played with groups between two and six people in size.
