How to play

The goal is to arrange your hand into melds (sets and runs) and go out before your opponent. Just 4 steps.

01

The deal

Each player is dealt 10 cards. The rest forms the stock, and the top card is turned face up to start the discard pile.

02

Melds

Form sets (three or four cards of the same rank) and runs (consecutive cards of one suit). Unmatched cards count as points.

03

Your turn

Draw a card from the stock or the discard pile, then discard one. Gradually your hand takes shape as melds.

04

Going out

When your unmatched cards add up to little, knock or call gin (every card in a meld) and tally up the points.

About the game

Gin Rummy is a fast two-player card duel that blends memory, calculation, and bluff. It pays to watch what your opponent draws and discards, so you don't hand them the card they need and you can go out at the right moment. Calling gin — getting your entire hand into melds with nothing left over — earns a hefty bonus. At muta.pro you can play Gin Rummy with a friend by room code or against a bot, right in your browser.
