Kalooki 51 Kalooki (also Kaluki or Kalookie) is a Rummy game which combines the use of wild cards - Jokers. In this Rummy variant, the melds in one's hand must reach a total count of 51 or more in order to lay down melds. The winner is the first player to dispose of all the cards in his hand at once - this is called Hunt (or "Kalooki), or the first player to dispose of all the cards in his hand by gradually melding and building - this is called Going Out.
