Poker Face Paul's Gin — About this game

Poker Face Paul’s Gin recreates the draw-and-discard rhythm of gin rummy. Each player starts with ten cards and draws from either the face-down stock or the exposed discard before throwing one card away. Build melds from three or four equal ranks, or runs of at least three cards in one suit. Aces stay low, while unmatched cards count as deadwood. Reduce that total to make a legal knock or arrange the whole hand to call gin, watching which discards your opponent accepts. Three computer opponents offer increasing difficulty, and built-in rules and hints explain the game. Reordering your hand makes potential melds easier to see without forcing you to commit to the first combination.
