Gin Rummy,
or just "Gin", is a member of the "Rummy" family of card games. Gin Rummy
adheres to the documented rules of Hoyle's Rules Of Games, but provides rule
variations should you be familiar with other methods of playing. Both the
Oklahoma Gin game and the Hollywood scoring method (favored by movie stars in
World War II) are fully supported.
Ten cards are dealt
to you and ten to your opponent. The remaining cards form the stock and are
placed face down by the table. The top card is turned face up on the table. This
card forms the beginning of the discard pile.
The game progresses
with the player or the opponent starting their turn. If this is a new game, the
loser of the previous game starts. If this is a new round of an unfinished game,
then the loser of the previous round starts. The player who is starting has the
option of taking the card from the discard pile. If this option is declined, the
other player can elect to take it instead. If this offer is also declined, the
first player takes a card from the stock.
Whether you started
your turn by taking a new card from the stock or by taking the card from the
discard pile, you continue your turn by determining whether you can, and wish
to, "knock", which will signal the end of the current round. In order to knock,
you must be able to meld cards from your hand to the table such that you will
have ten or less points in your hand after discarding. If you meld all ten
cards, you have scored "Gin". You conclude your turn by discarding a card from
your hand.
A round ends when a
player has knocked. The other player may then lay down whatever melds they can,
and add to the knocking player's melds. They do not take a card before this
action, nor do they discard after.
Successive rounds
are dealt and played until one of the players achieves the goal of 100 points to
win the game.
