How to play Two players: If more than two people want to play, you may want to send the extras out for ice cream or a walk. A standard deck of 52 cards: No jokers allowed in the Gin house. Getting a fair deal Both players get ten cards. The dealer turns the rest of the cards into the stock by placing them in the center of the table and turning over the first card. The upcard is offered to the nondealer first. If he doesn’t want the upcard, the dealer may take it, and then play continues. Gin Rummy play resembles regular Rummy, except for how you go out, and the fact that you do not put down combinations mid-hand. The first upcard is a free card; be prepared to take it, even if it has no relevance to your hand because the option reverts to your opponent if you don’t take advantage of it. If nothing else, taking the card misleads your opponent about the combinations in your hand. You cannot take up the discard and then immediately put it down. Going Gin and tallying your score The most difficult (and therefore rewarding) way to go out and win the game is to put all your cards into melds, which is called going Gin. If you go Gin, you score 25 points, plus the sum of whatever your opponent fails to make into complete combinations her unconnected cards, or deadwood. You must pick up a card, either from the stock or the discard pile, before you go Gin. Knock, knock! Another way to go out The most intriguing facet of the rules of Gin Rummy, compared to the standard Rummy rules, is that you have more than one way to go out. Instead of forming all your cards into combinations, you have the option to knock (which involves literally tapping the table). You knock when the cards that don’t make melds total less than or equal to 10 points. If you meet these criteria, you can knock (just once will do no matter how happy it makes you feel) and then put your cards down on the table. After you knock, play stops, and the tallying begins. Your score comes from the deadwood the cards that aren’t part of combinations. If your opponent’s deadwood exceeds yours, you pick up the difference between your total and his. If your opponent’s deadwood doesn’t exceed yours, you must face the consequences. Sometimes your opponent can outdo you when you knock because he has an additional way to get rid of his deadwood. He can put down his melds, and those cards don’t count toward his score. He can also add his loose cards to your combinations. After your opponent adds any loose cards, only his remaining cards count.
