I recently found a deck where each suit is a different color. Hearts are red, of course. Spades are dark blue, diamonds are yellow, clubs are green. Makes gin rummy SO much easier to play, than the traditional "spades and clubs are black, hearts and diamonds are red," decks.

Simple and straightforward, more so than Rummy 500, and more interesting for two players that regular rummy. My friend, who hadn't played many card games before, uses your videos to learn this game and Five Crowns, and she's caught on to both games quite quickly!
Thank you so much, I've always wanted to learn how to play it. My husband and I are playing lots of card games, neither of us knew how to play gin rummy so, this will be great to learn how to play together.
4:16 For anyone who at least knows the knocking rule, please note that the player who undercuts the knocker never goes gin, even though the undercutter gets rid of all his deadwood. Only the knocker goes gin. In this example, Player 1 laid off his 2 of hearts to Player 2's meld of 2s. Player 1 undercut Player 2 but didn't go gin.
Can you explain WHEN do you lay down your sets or runs. As you get them? Do you have too?? Can you hold till you knock or go Gin? If I hold them till i knock , I assume I must lay them all down so the opponent could lay against me and try to undercut me?
ABSOLUTELY THE BEST video that explains how to play the game. I love how you speak slowly and set out visually how the game should be played. Thank you so much 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Gin Rummy Extra on Google Play is the best game to practice. You can play with others or with computer. play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.games.ginextra&hl=en
Hoyle has different scoring rules. You play multiple rounds of 100 points, and the winner is the first to reach 500 points. Every hand you win is worth 25 points, which is awarded at the end of every round. Example: If player A wins 2 times and player B wins 5 times, then they would get 50 and 225 respectively. The knocker gets twice the amount of points if the opponent had no matching cards. After updating the score, you start a new round of 100 points. Repeat this process until someone reaches 500 points. Also, Gin and Undercut are worth the same (25 points).
Maybe you can tell me what version of rummy this is my gma taught us: each player gets 7 cards except 1 who gets 8. This player discards one of his 8 cards and effectively starts the discard pile. Each consecutive player will have the option to pick up the top card from the discard pile or choose from the face down draw deck. The only way a player can put any cards down is if they can "melt" 50 points of sets or runs. Points of each card are : 5 pts for any numbered card, 10 points for any J, K or Q and 15 pts for A, but only if it's used in a set of 3 As or as KQA but if it's used in a A12 run it's only worth 5 pts. Each player may only have 8 cards max in their hand at any one time, unless they are able to pick up from a certain point in the discard pile and melt. So, instead of only having the top card showing in the discard pile, you'd stack them allowing each card in the discard pile to be visible. After a player has melted, they are free to add to their own runs or sets whenever they choose, or can add to a run or set of another player's. The hand ends when one player plays all of their cards. The points of the cards left in the hands of the other players are deducted from the points they earned. If a player hasn't been able to melt at all it would result in a negative score. We would play til 500 points which would be 4 to 5 rounds on average. If a player were able to get a true run before melting (ie. 1-7 in the same suit) they would call "Rummy", automatically winning the round and also earning 500 pts, effectively winning the game. Players could also call Rummy if an opponent discarded a card that could be included in an existing set or run on the table and steal the card for themselves even if it was not their turn to draw. Wow, after typing this out it sounds way more complicated than I remember, but once you get into it it all works out.
What type is rummy when you get 14 cards except for whoever is starting who gets 15 cards and the person before the dealers gets a pile of shuffled cards, picks up from wherever except the bottom and has a chance of picking up a joker,
@@zolta-games8429 This one sounds more towards Rammi Bridge, the one I'm used to. But this Gen Rummy seems similar but without jokers and some other rules.
@@karenfromfinasse8430 Kinda seems like this: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/500_rum But not fully. Don't know the one you've played. Perhaps it's more towards Rammy Bridge?
Sehr gutes und verständliches Viedio selbst wenn mann nicht Engländer ist kann man das super einfach verstehen und innerhalb von 12min Gin lernen das ist super. Also suoer gelungenes Viedio Daumen hoch Dafür 👍
:) In Brazil we have a game similar to this, only with two decks for 2-6 players and nine cards for each. Called 'Cacheta'. It's also known as "Pife" and "Pif-Paf".
I play that a gin and undercut are both worth 25 points plus the deadwood difference and big gin is 31 points - some variations exist that accommodate up to 4 people
Minute 5:33 , so if player 1 knocks and both player's have the same amount of unmatched cards, then because this is considered an undercut then player 2 gets 10 points on that round right?
Question: can you lay-off more than one unmatched card into the opposing player's matches if the possibility presents itself, or are you allowed to only lay-off one card when your opponent knocks?
My dad ran a gambling joint in the hood. He played "Knock Rummy". It was a 7 card hand and only 2 players. You can win by "Knocking" for the low score or laying your hand down with "Rummy". The pay out was under the 1,2,3 money rules. Win a dollar if you knock and win, lose 2 dollars if you knock and lose, win 3 dollars if you get "Rummy". Knock $1 Caught $2 Rummy $3
So just to clarify, at 4:17 player (2) knocks, then all cards are turned face up. Player (2) has an ace unmatched for one point, but player (1) can lay off his unmatched deuce on to player (2)s set of deuces, leaving player (1) with no unmatched cards, however, that does not mean that player(1) has got Gin, for an additional twenty bonus points + the one for player (2)'s unmatched ace. Player (1) simply gets one point for Player (2)s unmatched ace, + 10 bonus points for the undercut, is that correct?
Btw I have a question, do you have to place cards on your opponent sets after someone knocks? My sister and I were arguing on whether I have to place my unmatched cards on her sets once she knocked. It benefited me if I didn’t. Please respond 👍
bicyclecards.com/how-to-play/gin-rummy/ this might help u, and yes u can do it if the unmatched cards can go on the hand of the opponent who knocked, i think so, also u should see in this site that the definition of undercut is a litle bit different, sorry if my english is bad, i hope this will help u.
So, you don't add up the values of the matched cards? This is new to me. I've been playing an app. It seems to score high sometimes without anyone going Gin. What about deadwood? Or is that the same as unmatched cards?
It would make your video even more clear when you play Player 1, you sit where they are. And when you play Player 2, you sit where they are. The visual will match and prevent any confusion.
How many cards can you have in a run? Can it be 4 or more all the way up to 10? Also, can you knock on the first play right after the first pick of a card?
Quick question: can I split off one card from a set of four to complete a run? For instance, if I have four 2s and pull a 3 and a 4 of the same suit (for instance, spades), can I split off the 2 of spades to complete the run?
I keep it simple: 10-card Oklahoma with Hollywood Scoring, 20(+6)/10, spades double hand, Schneider doubles all, 1st two of 3 games unless it's open game count, settle debt at no more than every five games. But that's me.
@@GatherTogetherGames thanks! Id like to add this aspect of interest in an otherwise simple game...so to get it straight...I knock for some reason.. why would I? but if I do, I have to display my cards, and my opponent gets to discard all his or her crap, and then perhaps get a gin? they cant score off of MY cards, right?
I believe a gin is worth 25 points, not 20. Likewise an undercut is worth 25. Finally, a "big gin" (like a gin, but ALL of the cards make runs, so there is no final discard) is worth 31. Each hand won is also worth 25, but hand points are awarded at the end of the game, & do not figure into the 100 points necessary to win. The grand total includes points from hands won, 100 points for winning the game, &-if the win is by shutout-a doubling of the winner's score.
A question! When do you show your hand ? And how well the other player ever get points other than 0 in each round, in other words, there must always be a player who gets 0 points in each round, right ?
This supersedes the comment I just made. Your explanation was difficult to follow because 1) You explained it far too quickly and 2) You played both hands from Player 1's seat, so sometimes it was not clear whose hand you were playing. A slower version, playing each hand from the correct seat would be excellent.
Yes. With that, you're guaranteed to have 10 or fewer deadwood, so you're sure to win unless your opponent can match or beat your deadwood total. If one of your melds has four cards and you have three melds, that's a gin.
In regular Rummy, you can't knock on your opponent nor lay off after your opponent goes out, but you're allowed to play melds to the table and to lay off on tabled melds during the round to reduce the number of points in your hand. Regular Rummy also can accommodate more than two players if each starts with seven cards instead of ten. Another difference is that the bonus in regular Rummy is given for going out in a single turn, the bonus being double points.

good tips...
So this is just conquian with extra steps. Got it.
Stu Ungar won a gin rummy tournament when he aged 10 years old. The beginning of his carreer
Yeah it's impressive. I'm actually reading his biography !
What happens when you undercut your opponent and you have no deadwood points? Would you get gin at that point as well?
No. You'd simply get the regular undercut bonus.
At 4:57 on the scoreboard how is it possible that player1 and player2 have e.g. 35 and 32. shouldn't the score go 35 for player1 and 0 for player2
and how does 32 and 32 and 32 and 32 and 60 and 75 and 75 equal to a 100
It's a running total for the score. The player scored 32, but then didn't score again for a few rounds. Then, scored 28 in a round to get to 60.
What is the music that you use?
Quick question: can I split off one card from a set of four to complete a run? For instance, if I have four 2s and pull a 3 and a 4 of the same suit (for instance, spades), can I split off the 2 of spades to complete the run?
Yes, you can do that.
GatherTogetherGames Thanks so much for your quick reply.
Thanks!
I usually play with 7 cards and dealer gets 8 so dealer drops they’re choice of card this is a good game
Some pauses between points being stated would be good.
What happens if the unmached carts of both are the same?
If the unmatched cards are the same, it counts as an undercut. The player who didn't knock scores 10 points.
So after you knock you both show your cards and that ends the hand?
i am from the future are you enjoying kakegurui season 3?

Agreed but fits understandable
I believe a gin is worth 25 points, not 20. Likewise an undercut is worth 25. Finally, a "big gin" (like a gin, but ALL of the cards make runs, so there is no final discard) is worth 31. Each hand won is also worth 25, but hand points are awarded at the end of the game, & do not figure into the 100 points necessary to win. The grand total includes points from hands won, 100 points for winning the game, &-if the win is by shutout-a doubling of the winner's score.

There's also a big gin, where you don't need to discard a card and have 11 cards with no dead wood.

First to get points that add up to 100.
This supersedes the comment I just made. Your explanation was difficult to follow because 1) You explained it far too quickly and 2) You played both hands from Player 1's seat, so sometimes it was not clear whose hand you were playing.
A slower version, playing each hand from the correct seat would be excellent.
Totally agree! Explanation was too quickly.
Can a player make 3 runs or 3 sets to win
Yes. With that, you're guaranteed to have 10 or fewer deadwood, so you're sure to win unless your opponent can match or beat your deadwood total. If one of your melds has four cards and you have three melds, that's a gin.
I got a 7 card run
What happens when I get gin but my opponent has gin also
The first player to get gin should lay it down. Once a player gets gin, the round is over.
GatherTogetherGames thanks 👌
GatherTogetherGames what happens if you lay off and that leaves you with no unmatched cards. Is that gin also?
@@awolf913 That's simply an undercut and is treated as such.
I'm here bc of the golden girls
Can you have a run of 6 or 7 cards? Say A234567?
Yes, a run of 6 or 7 is good.
@@GatherTogetherGames cool thanks :) even a run of 10 i assume
I have never been more confused
What is the difference between rummy vs gin rummy?? Im lost.
In regular Rummy, you can't knock on your opponent nor lay off after your opponent goes out, but you're allowed to play melds to the table and to lay off on tabled melds during the round to reduce the number of points in your hand. Regular Rummy also can accommodate more than two players if each starts with seven cards instead of ten. Another difference is that the bonus in regular Rummy is given for going out in a single turn, the bonus being double points.
