Gin Rummy Rules
in Gin Rummy, you're working toward same-kind sets or straight runs in the
same suit. The deck is the standard 52 cards (in some cases, jokers are
added as wild cards). Players receive six cards in a hand. You build
"melds" (that's the same-kind sets and suit-matched straight runs) of
three or more cards, which get laid down. One card is drawn each round,
and one discarded; the draw can be from the deck or from the top of the
discard pile. The winner of the hand is the first person to get rid of
all his cards, and the losers count up the values of their cards (number
value, plus ten points for each face card) and award you the "deadwood"
points. Play is to a set point value. In the basic game, aces count as
ones, you have four players, and point play is to 500. There are several
variations.
