How to Play

1

The Deal

Each player is dealt 10 cards. The objective is to organize your cards into "Melds" (Sets of the same rank or Runs of the same suit in sequence).

2

Draw and Discard

On every turn, you must draw a card from the deck or the discard pile. Then, you must choose one card from your hand to discard.

3

Knocking

Once your unmatched cards (Deadwood) total 10 points or less, you can "Knock" to end the round and compare hands with your opponent.

4

Going Gin

If you form melds using all 10 of your cards with zero deadwood, you have "Gin"! This earns you a special bonus and prevents the opponent from scoring.

Common Questions

What is Deadwood?
Deadwood refers to any cards in your hand that are not part of a valid set or run. The goal is to have as little deadwood as possible when the round ends.


Can I knock at any time?
You can only knock if the total point value of your unmatched cards is 10 or less. If you have zero unmatched cards, you have achieved "Gin."
