Gin Rummy Online: Free Gin Rummy Card Game [Single + Multiplayer]

Gin Rummy is a fantastic 2-player game that is easy to learn and loads of fun to play. Unlike other card games like Hearts that revolve around taking or avoiding tricks, Gin Rummy is a draw-and-discard game. The game's objective is to accumulate melds, as either sets or runs and requires both skill and luck to win.


The game is free to play online. No signup or registration is required to get started. You have the option to play against the computer or other players online. You can either join a public table or create your own private table where you can invite friends and family to play. So get ready to create melds and outsmart your opponent!

Rules

We've created a page explaining how to play Gin Rummy in detail. If you're new to the game, we suggest you head over there to get acquainted with the rules. The page even contains an interactive tutorial that'll teach you the rules while playing the game. If all you're looking for is to refresh your memory, look no further.


The game's objective is to be the first person to reach 100 points. The aim of each player is to form melds, either as sets or runs and minimize deadwood cards in their hands. Cards are ranked from Ace, being worth 1 point, to 10, being worth 10 points. Face cards are worth 10 points as well.


At the start of the game, each player is dealt 10 cards, and a single card is dealt face-up on the table. The two players take turns either picking up the face-up card or an unknown card from the deck. Once they've picked up a card, they must pick a card from their hand to discard.


After discarding, if a player has 10 deadwood points or fewer on their hand, they're allowed to "knock". If the player chooses to do so, the knocker and their opponent have to show their cards, and the opponent may lay off deadwood cards against the knocker's melds.


Points are given based on deadwood points, with bonuses given for undercutting, going gin and being the first to reach 100 points. When a player reaches 100 points, the game ends, and the final score is calculated based on the amount of points acquired, the winner's bonus and the line bonus.

Strategy

The strategy of Gin Rummy revolves around effectively forming melds to minimize deadwood points, figuring out when to knock based on the strength of your hand and your opponent's actions, and carefully tracking the flow of cards to predict opponents' melds and avoiding discarding cards that might be useful to them.


We've summarized some of the most useful strategic points below. Reading through them and applying them to your gameplay should significantly improve your game. We can also recommend having a look at Cool Old Games Gin Rummy guide for more in-depth strategy tips.
