Before I explain anything to someone, I always picture you saying it in my head. I love your videos man.

Great video, explained it so clearly that my 10 year old sister, whose first language isnt English, could follow the whole thing and immediately start playing and winning 😂

[@BLUEPLANETJAZZ]

This guy is great. Excellent communicator--and explained a complex game in 4 minutes. Thankyou!

[@leacebee5892]

I learned how to play by a friend showing me when I was a teen. I was hoping this video would be a good refresher but I'm thinking maybe having a practice game or 3 to demonstrate might have been more helpful for my dusty old brain. Regardless I thank you for sharing this

[@LeotheTiger1234]

Excellent tutorials. I didn't know about discarding a card face down when a player goes gin.

[@ryanb1802]

Instructions not clear. Cards now in bin.

In my opinion, the instructions are clear.

[@billcarsonasmr5022]

In my country we play Rummy with two decks of cards mixed . And we serve 13 cards for each player . I find it much more enterraining and challenging .

[@TheDiana09v]

Scala 40?

[@leoli2284]

Alternatively, a gin bonus is 25 points instead of 20 and an undercut bonus is 25 points instead of 10. Also, there’s another rule called going “big gin.” A big gin bonus is 31 bonus points.

[@OldMovieRob]

Very straight-forward explanation. Thanks!

[@amysmiles9751]

Thank you. I love this game but I'm always bad at remembering how to play. My senior year in high schook I use to hang out the my neighbor across the street, smoking cigarettes and listening to country music and playing Gin rumy. goo's times.

[@juancsuarez]

@2:19 Q,K,A are not a valid run, since A goes before 2. Here knocking would not be possible. In the next shot a J appeared magically.

[@RunningMoose357]

Notice that when he switched to the view of the non knocking player laying out his cards the ace is now a Jack. He noticed his mistake too but didn't reguit the first part.

[@navyvet05]

Thank you for being concise and to the point and not doing the blah blah blah thing like most KZbinrs do.

[@champchampions8152]

Wow not many people are interested in rummy or gin rummy

[@ThisThingEaten]

According to Hoyle, a Gin bonus is 25 points, not 20. Same amount for an Undercut bonus, not 10.

[@torreyintahoe]

My dad and grandfather played gin rummy at night on our boat when we would go together. They would play late into the night. In the morning there would be a legal pad with columns of numbers written down.

[@crazyburkey3677]

We always played Ace high, 2 low, we always played face cards 10, Aces 15, and all other cards 5, There's only 1001 ways to play

[@jeffk1722]

2:21 When your opponent knocks, can you as defender see their melds before choosing how to make your own melds? (To layoff most efficiently) I’m assuming yes, based on how your video displays it. I ask because 1:48 decision would ideally be made at the end of the round right?

[@rinkypathak9560]

Can you make that how to play cards

[@goonerbear8659]

Yes. When a player knocks or gins, both players reveal their hands. The player who didn't knock/gin may then lay off deadwood cards from their hand to the knocking/ginning player's melds before determining who won the round and how much they score.

[@clord9443]

This bloke explained the game well. Easier if you learn rummy first.

[@zichenghan7585]

One thing the video missed is big gin. A big gin is when you draw a card at the beginning of your turn and that card is a part of a set or run. So you have no deadwood out of your 11 cards, you receive a bonus of 31 points if you get a big gin. Variations may have a gin bonus be 25 points and the undercut bonus be 25 points. The line bonus (the amount of points received for each hand won) may also be 25. In some other variations the shutout bonus (the bonus given if the opponent did not receive a single point) doubles your points instead of adding 100. Also, a undercut is not possible against a gin or a big gin.

[@Beanz84]

This isn’t how my family and I play, but I get it

[@taylorrose6083]

RULE CORRECTION: If a player knocks (unmatched cards = > 10), the opponents PAIRS COUNT AS DEADWOOD -- therefore, in this video, the TWO QUEENS would not be left out of the knocking players points - they would get 20 points for the pair of queens

[@AnnJio]

Pal, I had the same thought at the first time I saw, but please take another looks again, there’re actually three cards, he just covert one down beneath other two.

[@zrq5308]

Look closer, there are actually 3 queens there you just can’t see them well.

[@pattyhernandez107]

There were 3 Qs

[@8317dh]

A player is allowed to knock when his/her unmatched cards = 10 points.

[@8317dh]

As AnnJio, ZRQ AND Patty H wrote, there are 3 Queens in the hand of the knocker's opponent. Replay / pause video between 2:25 and 2:30. But, Taylor is correct that pairs count as deadwood.

[@josephcozart1672]

Would you guys explain the rules of the discard pile

[@gradyearls3072]

Is the reshuffle or as we called it the" Frishee rule" where both players can be redelt a new hand a legitimate rule?

[@JGG31986]

So I’ve always just played that the first player to reach 100 pts wins the game. Why do you tally up how many hands you each win and what’s the purpose of the 100 pt bonuses? Is that all just for gambling purposes???

[@xuploads]

that's if you were going to play more than one game, as in you wanted to play for a longer amount of time. you could also just count one game as one 'win' and restart the game again like you're talking about.

[@Pigly_Porkchops]

Very helpful 👍

[@martinhulin]

Instruction unclear got beheaded by a murder drone

[@kerensabirch5214]

Easy to understand, though I don't understand why you would receive 100 bonus points if your opponent hasn't scored any at all during the game. Surely that would be redundant, as you've clearly won?

[@jasonmcnamee2227]

It’s for when you are playing for money. Example if you were playing a penny a point you would receive an extra dollar (100 points) from your opponent for dominating him so badly. It keeps the opponent from conceding a game when very far behind. Makes every point count.

[@stupidlegs7693]

[@hiyoryan3901]

Can you play this with two decks?

[@8317dh]

No for Gin Rummy. However, two decks are used for 5-8 players in Rummy 500.

[@peterpiper47]

0:14 You said cards have to be the same suit for a run. 2:48 That run at bottom right are not the same suit.

[@mariannebrindley7725]

I think it’s very clear. Thanks.

[@Giraffinator]

I'm far full an expert on anything ever, but the 100pt bonus for ending the game is a strange to me. Nearly doubling your score because you just happen to reach 100 first kinda seems unfair.

what happens if the entire draw pile is used up and there is no winner?

[@icephoenix0928]

If it happens I shuffle the discard and start it again

[@richardhussey8388]

Or it’s a stalemate and you keep your points and start a fresh game.

[@leoli2284]

That wouldn’t really happen since if only two cards are left in the draw pile, the round is either finished and neither player gets any points or canceled and is re-dealt.

[@jordanedward8778]

Why is A-2-3-4 not a run?
