Gin Rummy
 
Gameplay: 
---------
If you are not the dealer, you get to choose whether to take or
pass the upcard: Take the upcard if it will help you form a 
matched set or run by clicking it to add it to you hand. If you
don't want the upcard, click the Pass button. or 

If you are the dealer: Take the upcard if it will help 
you form a matched set of run. Click it to add it to your 
hand. If you don't want the upcard, click a card from the 
stock. 
You now have eleven clards. Click one to discard. 
Alternate with your opponent, taking the upcard or a card 
from the stock to form runs and matched sets, and discarding 
a card that does not help you. 
After you have a couple of runs or matched sets, you may want 
to knowck. If you have 10 or fewer points of deadwood, you can 
click the Knock button, and then click a card you want to 
discard. Click a high card because it won't be counted against 
you, and don't discard from one of your matched sets. 
or 

If all of your 10 cards (the eleventh card is not counted) 
are in runs and matched sets, you have Gin !

of points of the first upcard. For example, if the first upcard 
is a 4, a player must have four or fewer points of deadwood 
before knocking.

Oklahoma Gin and want to require players to play to Gin (instead 
of being allowed to Knock) if the first upcard is an Ace.
