Gin Rummy is a classic two-player card game that combines skill, strategy, and a bit of luck. Players aim to form sets of cards, either in runs of the same suit (consecutive numbers) or sets of the same rank. Each turn, players draw from the deck or discard pile and then discard a card, attempting to reduce the total point value of their unmatched cards.
The goal is to “knock” when your unmatched cards’ point value is low. Players then reveal their cards, and points are calculated based on unmelded cards. A key strategy involves holding cards that can be melded while obstructing opponents. The game rewards careful planning and card manipulation.
