How to Play
Never played Gin Rummy before? Essentially, the goal of Gin Rummy is to have less deadwood than your opponent, or ideally, no deadwood at all. Your deadwood amount becomes your opponent's points. If your opponent's points exceed 100, you lose. Conversely, if you reach 100 points before your opponent, you win.
Tips for Beginners
- Scan all available moves before choosing the first obvious one.
