Play in this fun Gin Rummy game online and show your card playing skills. You can choose between different opponents with a different playing style and skill level. Sort your cards to form sets and runs, keep an eye on your opponent and use the right strategy to win. This is a traditional card matching game that requires 2 players and a standard 52 playing card deck with Kings high and Aces low. In Gin Rummy, cards are worth their numerical value with Aces worth 1 and face cards worth 10. The objective of Gin Rummy is to be the first to reach 100 points. The dealer shuffles the deck and passes out 10 cards alternately to each player. The remaining cards are placed faced down in the center of the group to form the stock. The top card of the stock is flipped face up and placed next to the stock to form the discard pile. The player opposite of the dealer has the option to play first by taking the top card of the discard pile. If they choose to pass, the dealer has the choice to take the top card of the discard pile. If they also choose to pass, the other player begins the game by taking the top card from the stock pile. From the first draw onward, a player must pick up a card from either the stock or the discard pile at the beginning of their turn and remove one card from their hand to the discard pile at the end of their turn. The general goal is to get rid of “deadwood” by melding as many cards as you can in order to go Knock or go Gin. Deadwood are cards not in a meld. A player makes a meld by either having three or more of a kind or by having three or more of a run. A player goes Gin if they get rid of all of their deadwood through melds. Going Gin results in a 25 point bonus along with the deadwood value of the other player. A player can go Knock when the card value of their deadwood is 10 or less. To go Knock, the player places the card they will discard face down on the discard pile. After a player goes Knock, all cards are faced up and the non-knocking player has the opportunity to lay off their deadwood cards onto the knocking players’ melds. If no player can reach Knock or Gin by the time the stock pile has two cards left, no points are awarded.
