Machiavelli is an Italian manipulation rummy game for 2–5 players, played with two standard 52-card decks. Players take turns playing cards from their hand onto the shared table by forming valid melds (sets of 3–4 same-rank cards, or runs of 3+ same-suit sequential cards). The twist: you may freely rearrange existing melds on the table — as long as all melds are valid when you submit your turn. First player to empty their hand wins.
