Anatomy Rummy

This game helps players improve their memory of anatomical structures and their positions relative to each other, making a challenging subject fun to learn. The goal is to create two sequences of cards—one with three cards and one with four cards—showing the order of five main anatomical components from deep to superficial in each suit.

How it works: Each player is dealt seven cards, and the remaining cards form a face-down pile with the top card flipped over to start the discard pile. Players take turns drawing from either the discard pile or the face-down pile. They keep some cards and discard others. The first player to form two sequences must name at least three structures (like bones or muscles) on each card.

Other players check a reference sheet listing all structures to verify the answers. If a player cannot name three structures on a card, they lose 1 point for each missing structure. The winner adds the value of their cards minus any penalties to their score, while others subtract the total value of their cards.

The game ends when a player reaches a set score or when a time limit expires. The highest score wins.

Components: 40 cards.
