Gin Rummy
Many variations of rummy are known, but for two players the one generally preferred is Gin Rummy with the
The game is played with a full pack of fifty-two cards that rank from King (high) to Ace (low). The player cut to determine who deals first, but, thereafter, the player who wins a hand deals for the next one.
Ten cards are dealt to each player and the next card is turned face upwards and placed on the table between the players; it is known as the up-card. The rest of the pack is placed faced downwards alongside it.
The object of this poker card game is to meld one’s cards into sets of three or four of the same suit, and into sequences of three or more of the same suit, and into sequences of three or more of the same suit. Sets and sequences must be independent of each other: a player is not allowed to meld the same card into a sequence and a set.
The non-dealer has first choice of taking the up-card into his hand. If he does not, he must offer it to the dealer. If either player takes the up-card, he discards a card from his hand face upwards on the table. If neither player takes the up-card, the non-dealer takes the top card of the stock and discards a card from his hand to cover the up-card. The dealer then has the option of taking into his hand either the card that the non-dealer has discarded or the top card of the stock. When he has taken one of them into his hand, he, too, discards a card from his hand. The discards are placed one on top of the other, so that only the card immediately discarded can be seen, and the discard pile must not be examined by the players while the deal is in play.
Play continues in this way- each player in turn either taking the top card of the discard pile or the top card of the stock- until one of them elects to go down (called knocking) or there are only two cards left in the stock. Neither may be drawn, and if the player who draws the fiftieth card discards without knocking, the deal is declared a draw; neither player scores and the same dealer deals again.
The player who knocks must do so after drawing a card and discarding, and his unmelded cards must not exceed a total of 10 points –court cards count 10 points each and the others their pip values.
