Gin Rummy is a game of taking and melding cards with the object of being able to lay your cards down as rank sets (e.g. three Kings) or runs (e.g., 8, 9, 10 of Clubs) before your opponent. You may take either a new card from the stock, or the opponent's last discard, to start your turn. You end your turn by discarding a card. The first player to 100 points wins the game. The many rule and scoring options affect when you can knock (go out) and how many points are awarded.
