Gin Rummy
About Gin Rummy
Gin Rummy is a classic two player card game played with a standard deck. Each turn you draw and discard cards, trying to build sets and runs while keeping your unmatched card value low. The goal is to arrange your hand efficiently and knock or go gin before your opponent does, scoring points toward a win.
How to play Gin Rummy
On your turn, draw a card from the stock or discard pile, then discard one card. Try to form sets of three or four matching cards, or runs of three or more consecutive cards in the same suit. When your unmatched cards add up to a low enough value, you can knock to end the round. Full explanations of scoring and knocking are available in the game itself. Play continues until one player reaches 100 points.
Tips for playing Gin Rummy
- Keep track of which cards your opponent picks up from the discard pile to guess what they are collecting.
- Try to lower your deadwood count early instead of waiting for a perfect hand.
- Discard high value unmatched cards first, since they cost you more points if your opponent knocks.
