Some believe that rummy can sharpen your brain along the way. Is it possible? Let’s find out. Your brain is basically made of two hemispheres, right and left. People that are left-brained are more analytical in life and the right-brained ones are artistic and creative.

The two sides of the brain and how they play rummy:

The left part of your brain assists you in analyzing the cards, forming sequences and sets, calculating the probabilities in each round, and tells you how to execute strategy. It makes all the logical calculations to help you decide what to discard and also weighs the odds while doing so. Think of it like a scanner but it performs the function of watching out for important cards that pile up in the open deck.

Now the right brain, is the source of all your imagination. Both the sides of your brain need to work in sync for you to achieve a victory. This part of your brain supports your intuition department by helping you predict. This blended with your left brain will help you make the right decisions. Arranging the cards colour-wise and devising creative ways to club your cards into sets and sequences is done by this side. You can also pick up the direction of the game and visualize the end well in advance.
