## **How to play**

Gin Rummy is rummy for two. Build melds, keep your deadwood low and knock at the right moment. The game spots your melds for you.

1. **1**### **Deal**

   Each player gets 10 cards. The next card goes face up on the discard pile and the rest form the stock. The non-dealer can take that upcard or pass. Then the dealer gets the same choice.
2. **2**### **Draw and discard**

   On your turn, draw the top card from the stock or the discard pile. Then discard one. You can't throw back a card you just picked up from the discard pile.
3. **3**### **Melds**

   A set is 3 or 4 cards of the same rank. A run is 3 or more cards in a row in one suit. Aces are low, so A-2-3 works but Q-K-A doesn't.
4. **4**### **Deadwood**

   Any card outside a meld is deadwood. Number cards count their face value, face cards count 10 and aces count 1.
5. **5**### **Knock**

   If you have 10 deadwood or less after discarding, you can knock. Both hands get laid out and compared.
6. **6**### **Gin!**

   No loose cards at all? That's gin. You get 25 bonus points plus all of your opponent's deadwood.
7. **7**### **Lay off**

   After a knock, the opponent can add deadwood to the knocker's melds. That's not allowed after gin.
8. **8**### **Undercut**

   The knocker scores the difference in deadwood. But if the opponent has the same or less, they win the hand and get 25 bonus points.
9. **9**### **To the goal**

   If only two cards are left in the stock, the hand ends and nobody scores. First to reach the goal wins.

## **Why Gin Rummy online is fun**

### **Bots in three levels**

Practice alone against easy, medium or strong bots.

### **Automatic melds**

The game sorts your hand and always shows your deadwood.

### **Several hands**

Collect points hand by hand until you reach the goal.
