The goal of the game is to put your cards into melds of sets or runs. Gin Rummy is similar to the game gin, but is designed to be faster. Whatever the origins, Gin Rummy today is a widely played game with perhaps the peak being in the 1940's, where it was particularly popular in the United States. Conquian originated in Mexico in the mid-1800s and, like Gin, involved melding sets and runs. Gin Rummy, often shortened to “Gin”, may have evolved from 19th-century Whiskey Poker.Ĭard game historian David Parlett maintains that a game called Conquian was Gin Rummy's forerunner. The aim of Gin Rummy is to score points and reach an agreed number of points before your opponent does. The current round number is shown left of your opponent's cards. Your current score is shown in the lower left while the opponent's current score is shown in the upper right. For example, if you scored 125 points and the computer scored 9 you would score 116. Your score which enters into the high scores database depends on what your cumulative score is across the game versus the computer. If the computer has a higher score than you at the end of 10 hands then you will have scored zero points as you lost. In this game you play against the computer for 10 hands. If you have the 6 of clubs and the 8 of clubs it means you need to get the 7 of clubs to make a run. Having 6 of clubs and 7 of clubs means you can make a set with either the 5 of clubs or the 8 of clubs. having consecutive cards) gives you twice the odds of pulling the needed card as if you need a card in between two others. Needing a card at either end of a run (e.g. For example, if you have the 3 of clubs and 3 of diamonds along with the 4 of clubs then you can make a set or run by landing any of the following cards: Try to keep in your hand cards which provide you multiple ways to win. Ace through 5) so that you are not carrying much deadwood if your opponent knocks early, but if you can make sets or runs of higher cards early in the game they are fine to have. You generally want to have cards which skew lower (e.g. The longer the game plays for the more you should be willing to knock as soon s you can because your opponent might be near having a hand with zero deadwood.

If you have 8 deadwood left in your hand when you knock and the computer has 32 deadwood then the computer scores 0 points and you score 24 points.

If you have 8 deadwood left in your hand when you knock and the computer has 2 deadwood then you score 0 points and the computer scores 6 points.

If you have no deadwood then you get a 25 point bonus. Your dead wood amount is shown to the right of your hand. When you have the ability to knock a button will appear right of the waste pile. You can knock to end the game when your deadwood is 10 or below, and you discard 1 of the 11 cards when you knock.

The remaining cards which are not parts of sets or runs in your hand are called deadwood. Runs are 3 or more consecutive cards in the same suit.You are dealt 11 cards & your goal is to get as many cards as you can into sets or runs so their value is zeroed, then try to have the rest of your hand have as few pips as possible. On each turn you must discard a card at the end of your turn.

And then from then on you can either draw the top card from the reserves or take the top card from the waste pile. Off the start of the game you can take the top card off the waste pile or pass. There is a play button left of your hand which automatically puts cards in order in sets and runs.Īces are 1, face cards are 10, and all other cards are their numerical value in pips.

The lower right corner has a pause button.
