Low deadwood, perfect timing, then knock
Gin Rummy is the great two-player rummy duel. You sort ten cards into sets and runs, squeeze your leftovers down low, and pick your moment to knock, knowing a thin knock can turn right around on you.

Gin Rummy is one of the 21 games in Cards Royale.
How it plays
Gin Rummy in three steps.
You each get ten cards, the next card is turned up to start the discard pile, and aces count one while face cards count ten.
Draw from the stock or the discard pile and discard one, and once your deadwood is ten or less you may knock to end the hand.
The knocker scores the difference in deadwood, gin adds twenty-five, and the first player to the target, one hundred unless the table picks more, wins.

The moments you play for
Why Gin Rummy gets under your skin.
A quick duel for two.
The undercut
Knock too thin, and if their deadwood ends up equal or lower, they score the difference plus twenty-five instead.
Safe discards
A pile take tells your opponent what you want, so late in the stock a safe discard beats a lucky draw.
