The object of the Gin Rummy card ga

The object of the Gin Rummy card game is to collect a hand where you can combine most/all of your cards into sets and runs. The point value of the cards you can not combine should be low. In case you don’t know what a set or a run is, a run is three or more consecutive numbers of the same suit. For instance, if you have a one card, a two card, and a three card all in the spades suit, you have a run. A set is three to four cards of the same number. For instance, if you have four cards with the number 3 on them (one from each suit) you have a set. Unlike most other card games, you can not use the same card twice in a set or a run. For instance, you have a seven of clubs that you could use in a set and a run. You can only choose to use it in one or the other, not both.
