What are the rules for rotten rummy?

Rotten Rummy is a variant of the traditional Rummy game, typically played by 2-6 players. The objective is to form sets and runs of cards, but players can also "go rotten," meaning they can discard unwanted cards for penalty points. Players take turns drawing and discarding cards, aiming to minimize their total score by the end of the game. The player with the lowest score wins after a predetermined number of rounds or when a player reaches a specific point total.
