Goal
Make melds and reduce your deadwood.
How to play
Ten cards each; aces are low. Take the discard or draw from stock, then discard a different card if you took the discard. Knock with at most 10 deadwood, or go gin with none. Melds and opponent layoffs are calculated automatically. Gin and undercut bonuses are 25 points. First to the target wins.
Scoring
Scores are points, never money.
