Guide: Gin Rummy

Il gioco è giocato da due giocatori, ognuno riceve dieci carte.

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 card can belong to only one combination at a time - you cannot use the same card as part of both a set of equal cards and a sequence of consecutive cards at the same time. For example if you have ♦ 7, ♠7, ♥ 7, ♥ 8, ♥ 9 you can use the ♥ 7 either to make a set of three sevens or a heart sequence, but not both at once. To form a set and a sequence you would need a sixth card - either a ♣ 7 or a ♥ 10.
