Gin Rummy

How Gin Rummy plays

• Draw, then discard. On your turn take one card from the stock or the discard pile, then discard one card to end your turn.
• Build melds. Sets are three or more cards of the same value. Runs are three or more cards in sequence of the same suit.
• Cut your deadwood. Cards not in a meld are deadwood, and they count against you. The lower your deadwood, the sooner you can end the round.
• Knock… After drawing, you may knock once your deadwood is 10 points or lower.
• …or go gin. Get every card into a meld — zero deadwood — and go gin for the strongest round score.
• Bigger tables welcome. Piece of Cake adapts Gin Rummy for up to 14 players using extra decks, and scores every opponent against the round winner.
