Gin Rummy

(for 2 players)

The Deck

One standard deck of 52 cards is used. Cards in each suit rank, from low

to high:

Ace 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Jack Queen King.

The cards have values as follows:

Face cards (K,Q,J)

10 points

Ace

1 point

Number cards are worth their spot value.

The Deal

The first dealer is chosen randomly by drawing cards from the shuffled

pack - the player who draws the lower card deals. Subsequently, the

dealer is the loser of the previous hand (but see variations). In a serious

game, both players should shuffle, the non-dealer shuffling last, and the

non-dealer must then cut.

Each player is dealt ten cards, one at a time. The twenty-first card is

turned face up to start the discard pile and the remainder of the deck is

placed face down beside it to form the stock. The players look at and sort

their cards.

Object of the Game

The object of the game is to collect a hand where most or all of the cards

can be combined into sets and runs and the point value of the remaining

unmatched cards is low.

•a run or sequence consists of three or more cards of the same suit in

consecutive order, such as 4, 5, 6 or 8, 9, 10, J.

•a set or group is three or four cards of the same rank, such as 7, 7, 7.
