Gin Rummy
Objective: Score more points than your opponent by making card combinations of three-card sets and runs, playing several rounds until one player gets more than 100 points.
Deck: A regular deck of cards
How to deal: Each player gets 10 cards with a draw pile in the middle and the first card turned up to create a discard pile.
How to play:
-
Players take turns and can pick up one card at a time from either the face-up discard pile or the draw pile and end the turn by discarding one of the cards in their hand.
-
Players make combinations of runs of the same suit or sets of the same rank with three or more cards within their hand. You hold your runs and sets in your hand the whole round while you play gin rummy.
-
To end a round, players can go “gin” (all of your cards are in sets and/or runs) and the points will be added up accordingly.
-
Keep playing rounds until someone scores 100+ points.
