I don't understand the rule on the first turn. If the first player doesn't want the card, can't he just draw normally from the stock pile? Why does he have to "pass"?
GREAT QUESTION. I hope you don’t mind if I pin this! ❤️
The special first turn rule is there to make things fair. It lets both players have a shot at the first card in the discard pile before it gets covered.
After that, both players also get equal chances with other cards added to the discard pile.
Makes sense but starts it out kinda awkward...
Once you get used to it it’s fine. I promise!
@@Rulies I get it now, thanks for the answer!
This channel is an internet treasure.
Thank you, that's kind of you to say!
This was a perfect explanation of the how the scoring works! Thanks a million 🙏
Rules are very clear and concise
Very entertaining video too,you don't feel like you are watching a tutorial
A+ quality and cleared you some things up for me. You Hit this out of the park!
Do you know if discarding the card you just drew is allowed?
Thanks. Your channel really teach me how to have fun during quarantine time
You're the best at explaining games, thanks!
Thanks for being informative in such an entertaining post!!! Good job!!
Excellent, so clear and easy to follow... thanks!
Very well explained! I love the sound transitions!! :D
Thanks Brokenzz!
very good instructional video. I'll have to watch it 3 or 4 times because almost 30 years worth of bong resin makes learning new shit a process but nonetheless its the best gin rummy instructions I've found
Thanks Dan, I got good laugh from this! 😂
bro thiss commenttt

Thanks Elia! I’m working on new videos now.
Ty! I haven't played this game in several decades, so it was good to get this refresher.
Glad I could help!
Best explanation, especially of scoring, that I've found. Thanks!
Thank you!

Woop woop!
😉🤣🤣🤣
I actually want a few hands against a friend of mine. They were so smug they didn't think I'd win any at all thank you
Thank you, I needed a refresh course, have not played in a while.
Glad I could help David! I hope you come back again for more card games.
Very helpful! God be with you
Awesome content!!!
This is a awesome channel!!! It needs to be more mainstream.
Thanks Dantez!
@@Rulies I'll share with all my friends
Here! くコ:彡
Amazing explanation! Good work man
Thanks!!
Underrated channel..
Nice video! Pretty hard at first, but I’m starting to get it!
Great videos thanks
Great explanation!
Best bit... "whoooop". 😂🙂👍
Best tutorial ever
Rulies, we getting a new video some time soon? Ive been missing these!
u explained every damn thing perfectly
but my dumb head couldnt grasp the SCORING part
Egg salad video! We loved it. Playing gin is so fun.
Egg Salad? Now I’ve heard everything. (Not that I’m complaining but your making me hungry)
lotsa variants treat ace high, and even treat ace as being an in-between value that permits loops, so that KA2 is a valid run
very well done!
Learning to play so that I can play with my friends that I’m about to meet
In Rare Cases, if a player melds 10 Cards + 1 Drawn Card, that's called Big Gin.
For Big Gin, You take the value of the Other Player's deadwood value and add it with the Big Gin Bonus which is the Gin Bonus+11 Points
Nice work on the tutorial. Watched a couple of others, but I ended up just as confused as I was before I watched em. Maybe more of a knock on my IQ than their tutorial, but either way, any idiot can understand this tutorial. Even me! 🤣 Appreciate it!
Thanks Rob! Comments like these keep me going.
hi rules, just wondering if another video is coming out soon?
Thanks 🙏
still waiting for top scenes of gin rummy in old movies! Can't wait!
I enjoyed your video so much. Thank you! At the end you mentioned another video featuring three scenes from movies where gin rummy is played but I don’t see that video. Did it perhaps get taken down because of copyright issues? Again, thank you!
Rainman?
great
Thanks for posting. I learned to play from your video but while I was putting everything in to practice with my partner, there was a scenario that wasn't addressed.
What if I knock and my opponents deadwood completes my deadwood so both of us have complete hands? What is the point system for that?
Hi Gemma! I think your a little bit off track. Watch this part again, starting at 6:15! Let me know if that sets you straight. ✌️. (Hint: only one player gets to lay off, which one? and they are only allowed to lay off on their opponents. ___ &. ______.)
@@Rulies Ahhh, I see where I went wrong. Thanks for cleaning that up and getting back to me!
Glad to help! 👍
I have another question! What if I knock and my opponent and I both have the same amount of deadwood and there's nothing to them to layoff into my hand? Is it a tie and we both get no points?
In that case I recommend that you both put your hands up in the air and say "woaaaaaa!", jk, you both get zero points just like you said.
Extra fun fact: in tournaments/gambling you also get bonuses for how many games you win, called a line bonus, but I did not cover that play-style in this video. I only cover games that are played just for fun (and they really gotta be fun).
WOW this has a lot of rules.. uugghh but sounds like fun!!..
What is the consequence for knocking above the knock card? Thank you.
One more detail needs clarification, when a player picks the face up card on the discard pile, are they allowed to discard that same card if they happen to change their mind or must they suck it up and lay down a different card?
Same card can be placed down as the one which was picked up.
I am in my mid 30’s and my entire life I have believed that I grew up playing gin rummy.
Apparently, I was wrong.
I wonder what it was that I have been playing??
The answer to this was Rummy 500. For whatever reason my family used both those names interchangeably. We’d call it gin rummy for a quick game and rummy 500 if we were planning on playing for a while. Not sure why. But it was definitely Rummy 500 that I’ve always played lol.
Hi rulies. She everything 5 here. (it used to be bro channel. do you like my new name?) I was just wondering if your going to make a new video soon. Its been about 4 weeks now and your average posting time is two to three weeks. looking forward to your next video. I love your channel so much, and i know I've said that in past comments. but i really do love it when you come out with new videos and your so grate at making them to. hope all is well, your friend, Shea everything 5 (ps, i always love your cards!)
Hi Shea everything! I'm away on vacation so might be a few more before I am back. On the bright side, I've been playing some great new games while I am away so I have lots of new material for when I'm back.
Awesome, have a great trip!
Thank you so fucking much for making this tutorial with such care, and you have an AMAZING intro. Really got me in the zone
Can you do the card game 6 card 9 hole Golf??
If all 10 cards in a player's hand fit into melds and thereby the player has no deadwood, they can choose to go Gin in which case the round ends and the player going Gin receives a Gin bonus of 25 points (or another established amount) plus any deadwood points in the opponent's hand
I like the idea of 20 for gin and 10 for undercutting, but the online apps do 25 for each. I don’t like that. Gin shouldn’t be 25 and definitely not 25 just for undercutting IMO
@@jeffk1722 the 25/25 bonus makes the game more interesting and skill-based imo. If the gin bonus is too low, especially coupled with just a 10 point undercut penalty, it removes a lot of strategy from the game because it's almost always best for both players to just try to knock as soon as possible with a wide variety of hands rather than to go for gin (for the possibility of catching their opponent with a bad draw and high deadwood count/without really needing to be concerned about the possibility of losing a few points to being undercut).
I wonder, what happens to the card that you put face down when you knock. What does that do?
8:08
That lady has a QKA run, which I thought you said was not allowed?
Jay! I am impressed! Good eye!
hi. its me again. i just learned a awesome game called nertz. its like spit only you can have 2 to 8 players! all you need in one deck of cards for each player and good reflexes. go to gather together games channel and search for peanuts to learn about it. i think your going to love it!
Thanks John!!!! 1.) That game looks awesome. 2.) I get the feeling someday you’re gonna have a card channel of your own, and I’m gonna subscribe to it!
Hi rules. Me again. Are you back from vay Kay yet?
I don't see the video with movies clips...Flamingo Kid is a great movie !
@ 7:01 you said "if the player (who knocks) has less than their opponent they win the round" etc. What if the opponent plays off but its a tie? Who wins?
If it a tie, then the knocker is undercut. (Thanks for the great question)
i think your doing a awesome job keep it up. BTW to be clear if the player that knocked had less dead wood points then the other player then the player that knocked would subtract the other players points by his points. for example the knocker player had 8 points and the other player had 20. so the knocker player would get 12 points. am i correct. please reply yes or no please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That is correct
If the first card is a spade , how much extra points does the person get
What happens when the knocker and knockee have the same point values in each of their respective hands post layoff?
There can't be a tie because the knocker will still get points even if both got the same point value of their respective hands post layoff. The knocker still will get 10 points. A "tie" is still considered an uppercut, in other words, still a win for the knocker
Are you able to discard a card you just pulled in the same turn?
Great question! If you draw it from the stock pile you may discard it the same turn. If you pick it up from the discard pile you cannot discard it until the following turn.
But I'll get it!!😊
I can't get the deadwood and going jin...💔
Can you discard the card you draw from the deck, if you don't want it?
Yes, just can't discard if you picked it up from the discard pile.
I don't play Gin, I drink it
Great video. Thanks

Why can't you play more then 2 with gin rummy but can play more with rummy 500?
Good question. Gin was specially designed to be a two player game. One thing that makes it two player only is the way it’s scored. Check that out at the end of the video and you’ll see what I mean..
Let’s see the step by step.
Explanation was great, the added clips were distracting.
Kate, that’s useful feedback. Thanks. I no longer add clips in my newer videos. Check this one out see if it works for you: How to play FreeCell Solitaire (step by step)

If a player goes Gin is the loser able to play off the melds of the winner so the winner only earns my deadwood?
Hi Patsy! A player can only lay off if their opponent knocks. They cannot lay off if their opponent goes Gin. Hope that helps! :)
6:48 "They cannot meld into their opponents deadwood" said as they try to put a 10 onto the opponent's meld on the screen..... Damn, this is the third video I've watched and nobody seems to know how to play this game.
Hi Maria, don’t worry, I got you! Go back a few seconds earlier and watch again. 6:34 “They can take their deadwood and include it into the knockers melds”. Deadwood is leftover cards that are not melded, so the example is correct.
Hope that helps!
can 6 or more cards make a run?
You only need 3 or more, if you drop 6 I’m sure your opponent will be impressed.
What about BIG GIN points?
Can you lay off more than one card?
Yes! As many as you want.
@@Rulies thanks!
Make more videos
where are the extra bonus?
you did explain the crap out of gin lol
I am back
I made my own card game called Rouxls
The whole scoring and laying off bit seems overly complicated, why do you give your deadwood to the other player?
Still confuss😅
how come it took you sooooo long to make this video its been like a month and also i have a game recommendation for you. its called California speed. its not a popular game but there are videos out there. i was if you could do a how to on it soon please ( PS love your channel)
Hey John! I'm not a full time youtuber yet, and put extra care into each video. I hope slow and steady will win the race. :)
California Speed looks fun. I'm gonna do some playtesting.
@@Rulies no pressure, i think your doing a awesome job!!!!!!!! keep it up! BTW to be extra clear, when the player that knocks has less dead wood points then the other player, the player that knocked subtracts the other players points by his points. for example the player that knocked has 8 points and the other player has 20. the player that knocked would 12 points. am i correct?
@@johnlane2082 That's exactly right.
Eerrrr....
Out version of gin rummy is def different.....
Whenever we have a set or a run
We put it down
So who ever finish first
Got rid of most of their cards.....WINS !
You didnt say nothing about the jokers. It's basic to explain they dont play. You give a lot of things for understood.
