Gin Rummy Duel
Two-player Gin Rummy against the computer with automatic meld sorting, knocking, gin, big gin, layoffs and undercuts, plus an eight-table tournament ladder, hints and daily challenges.
Gin Rummy Duel is the classic two-player rummy game against a computer opponent. Each of you is dealt ten cards, then takes turns drawing from the stock or the discard pile and discarding one card. Your goal is to group cards into sets of three or four of a kind and runs of three or more in one suit, and to leave as little deadwood as possible. The table is a warm walnut and baize card room with smooth card animations.
Your hand is sorted automatically into melds with coloured bars and deadwood, and the game shows your deadwood count and what it would be after each discard. Knock when you have ten or less, go gin with none for a bonus, or declare big gin with all eleven cards melded. The defender can lay off cards onto your melds, and tying or beating the knocker is an undercut that scores a bonus. Opponents play at three levels: Easy knocks recklessly, Normal weighs deadwood, and Hard watches what you take from the discard pile and picks safer discards. Win matches to climb eight tables, collect chips and XP, unlock card backs and felts, and take on the daily rule twist.
It is made for rummy fans and card players who like careful decisions. Tip: do not discard cards that match what your rival just picked up.
How to play
Each turn, draw from the stock or the discard pile, then discard one card. Make melds: sets of 3-4 of a kind or runs of 3 or more in one suit (Ace is low). Unmelded cards are deadwood (Ace 1, face cards 10). Knock with 10 or less deadwood; gin (0) pays a bonus. If the defender ties or beats you after laying off, that is an undercut. First to the target score wins, with bonuses for winning hands.
