The lesson in words
Gin Rummy is played by two players with one deck. Each player gets 10 cards; the rest form the stock, and one card is turned up to start the discard pile.
On your turn you draw one card, either the top of the stock or the top of the discard pile, then discard one card face up.
Draw one, discard one. Next: melds.
