Remember, the longer the game has gone on, the better your hand should be to knock. You can also learn to play three-handed Gin Rummy and Rummy variation Three Thirteen.

  • Gin rummy is best played with only two players. But if you have a third person who wants to play, have one person act as the dealer without dealing themselves any cards. Then rotate this position around the table for each subsequent hand. For four players, play two separate games.
  • Knock before your opponent does, you may be undercut, but in general this tactics is winning on the big number of hands (please note, for Oklahoma Gin, depending on the upcard, you will have to play for gin more, than in standard Gin-Rummy). Sometimes only one draw is necessary to change the hand from a 30-more points loss to a 30 points won.
Описание игры
This game is played by 2 players. At the start of a game each player is dealt 10 cards, 1 card is put face up as the first card in the discard pile, the rest of the cards are put face down as the stock pile. The first player starts the round by picking up a card in the discard pile or the stock pile, and then discarding a card from his hand to the discard pile, then the next player starts his round, and so on. The cards on hand form melds and deadwoods. Melds are 3 or 4 cards of the same rank; or 3 of more cards of the same suit in sequence. Melds cannot overlap so one card cannot belong to two melds. The rest of the cards are called deadwood cards, each deadwood card has points, A has 1 point, 2 has 2 points, etc, J, Q, K has 10 points. The object of this game is to reduce the deadwood points. After discarding a card, the player can knock if his deadwood points are less than or equal to 10. The other player can have a chance to lay off his deadwood cards if they can form melds with the knocking player's melds. After that, if the knocking player's deadwood points is less than the other player's, then he is awarded scores equal to the difference in deadwood points. But if the other player has less deadwood points, then the other player gets 25 plus the difference in deadwood points. If the knocking player has no deadwood then the other player is not allowed to lay off, and the knocking player is awarded an extra 25 points. And if all the 11 cards in a player's hand form valid melds, then he can knock before discarding a card and he is awarded an extra 6 points. If there are only 2 cards remaining in the stock pile, then the game ends in a draw. The match ends when a player has accumulated 100 points.

Gin Rummy for Three Players - Rules

Gin Rummy Winning Hands

Gin Rummy is normally a game for two players,but there are several methods for adapting it for three-handed play:

Cutthroat Gin Rummy Rules

Cutthroat is a version of Gin Rummy designed for three players, but only two players are active at one time. This is also known as Round Robin Gin Rummy.

To determine the first two participants, all three players draw a card from the deck. The player drawing the lowest card sits out the first round. The holder of the second-lowest card becomes the dealer, and plays against the holderof the highest card. After the first hand, the loser of the hand sits out, and the idle player deals to the winner.The idle player may only observe, and not offer advice to either active player.

Each player plays for himself, with a running total score kept for each. The first player who reaches 100 points is thewinner of the game. After game and box bonuses have been added (100 bonus points for the game, 25 points for each hand won),each player pays the difference in score to his opponents. If a player is shut out, he pays an additional 100 points to the winner of the game. The winner collects from two players; the second-place finisher collects from one player and paysto one player, and the overal loser ends up paying to the two other players.


Chouette Gin Rummy Rules

Chouette is a version of Gin Rummy designed for three or more players, but only two players are active at one time.

'Chouette' (pronounced 'shoo-ETT') is a general term, often used in the game of Backgammon,to describe a method for more than two people playing a two-person game. This technique is also sometimes called 'Captains'.

To determine the first two players in a Chouette game, all participants draw a card from the deck. Holder of the highest cardbecomes the 'man in the box', and the remainder of the players become a partnership, with the holder of the second-highest card becoming the 'captain' of the partnership. The remaining players become next-in-line, according to the order of their drawn cards.

The man in the box plays solo against the captain, with the other remaining player(s) consulting with the captainto advise on play, though the captain makes the final decisions as to gameplay. When the captain wins a hand, he retains his position. When he loses a hand, the captain position is passed along to the next player in line. The man in the box plays the entire game, regardless of whether he wins or loses individual deals.

In scoring the game, one score is kept for the man in the box, and another for the partnership as a whole.If the man in the box wins the game, he collects in full from each player in the partnership. If the partnership wins,each partner collects in full from the man in the box.
