How to play
Gin Rummy is a solo card game against an AI opponent. You form sets and runs from the cards in your hand, then knock or go gin to end your turn and score points. The developer says the opponent is smart, so the cards you keep and the cards you throw away both matter.
Each turn follows a simple rhythm. You draw a card, decide what fits your hand, and send an unwanted card to the discard pile. The goal is a hand that scores, and the knock or gin button is how you close out a turn and collect those points.
Controls explained
Everything runs on the mouse. Click cards in your hand to select them, and drag and drop unwanted cards onto the discard pile to remove them. Click the draw pile when you want a new card.
When your hand is ready, click the Knock or Gin button to end your turn and score points. There is nothing to memorize beyond those clicks, which keeps the focus on the cards themselves.
Tips
- Watch what you discard. A card you drop is a card your opponent may pick up, so send the least useful one.
- Group your hand into sets and runs early. Clear groupings make it easier to see which card no longer fits.
- Draw with a purpose. Before you click the draw pile, know which card in your hand is likely to leave.
- Hold back on knocking until your hand looks settled. The button ends your turn and scores points, so timing matters.
- Use the discard pile to remove unwanted cards. Drag and drop them there to clear space in your hand.
