Important terms

Melds

Melds are comprised of a sequence of cards according to suit or rank. A minimum of three cards in rank or suit is required to be considered a complete meld.

Examples of Melds

4-4-4, 6-6-6-6 or 8-9-10-J of same suit (2-A-K is not allowed)

Unmatched cards

Any cards that are not part of a meld

Knocking

A player can end a round of play by “knocking” if his unmatched cards add up to less than 10 points.

Going gin

A player goes gin when he has formed all the cards in his hand into melds and has no unmatched cards.

Stock pile

The pile from which players can draw if they do not want the last card in the discard pile.

Discard pile

The pile onto which players discard unwanted cards from their hand and from which they can pick up a card previously discarded by their opponent (if they want). Only the top card of the discard pile is available for play. Everything underneath is dead.

Object of the game

The object of the game of Knock Rummy is to be the first player to reach a predetermined score by forming melds and scoring points.

Scoring Rules

Scoring is the same as in Gin Rummy. After one player knocks, the other players add up the value of their unmatched cards remaining in their respective hands. The player with the lowest total of unmatched cards collects—from all other hands—the difference between his hand and each opponent’s hand.

The player with the lowest total of unmatched cards, if he is not the knocker, also takes an extra 10 points away from the knocker (20 points in some versions).

If the knocker has the lowest value of unmatched cards, then no points are scored. If someone has an equal value of unmatched cards as the knocker, then that player still collects from the other players, but the knocker neither relinquishes nor collects any points in relation to the unmatched cards. If two or more players (other than the knocker) tie for low score, all players divide the winnings.

A player “goes rum” when he knocks with all his cards formed into sets (with no unmatched cards remaining). When this happens, the knocker scores 25 points from each player in addition to the points in his hand. A hand that goes rum cannot be tied. If a player notices he has “gone rum” after someone knocks, then that player must pay the knocker an additional 25 points.

Play

Knock Rummy is basically Gin Rummy with more than two players. It is played with a standard 52-card deck and the cards rank the same as they do in Rummy—Aces are low. If playing with two people, each player gets 10 cards. If playing with more than two people, each player gets 7 cards.

In Knock Rummy, players draw and discard the same way they would in Gin Rummy. When a player knocks, points are added up and play is over. A player may knock at any time during the game.

OBJECTIVE: The objective in gin rummy is to score points and reach an agreed number of points or more.

NUMBER OF PLAYERS: 2 players (variations can allow for more players)

NUMBER OF CARDS: 52 deck cards

RANK OF CARDS: K-Q-J-10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-A (ace low)

TYPE OF GAME: Rummy

AUDIENCE: Adults

The Objective:

Players must set the number of points needed to win prior to the start of the game. The goal is to create runs and sets with your cards in order to score the most points and win the game.
Runs – A run is three or more cards in order of the same suit (Ace, two, three, four- of diamonds)
Sets – Three or more of the same ranking cards (8,8,8)

How to deal:

Each player is dealt 10 cards face down. The remaining cards are placed in between the two players and serve as the deck. The top card of the deck should be flipped over to create the discard pile.

How to play:

The non-dealer has the option to start the game by picking up the flipped over card. If that player passes, then the dealer has the option to pick up the face-up card. If the dealer passes, then the non-dealer can begin the game by picking up the first card on the deck.
Once a card is picked up, the player must decided if they want to keep that card and discard another or discard the card that was drawn. Players are required to discard one card at the end of every turn.
Once opening play has been made, players are allowed to draw from the deck or pick up from the discard pile. Remember the goal is to create sets and runs to obtain the most points.

Scoring:

2 – 10 = Face Value

Going Out

An interesting facet of Gin Rummy is that players have more than one way of going out. Players can either go out via the traditional method known as Gin or by knocking.
Gin – Players must create a meld out of all cards in their hands. A player must pick up a card from the discard or stock pile before going Gin. You automatically receive 25points if you go Gin, plus you receive the total number of points of uncompleted melds from your opponents hand.

For example, if your opponents hand is as such (8,8,8 – 4,4,4 – 5,2,2,ace), then they have 10pts in uncompleted melds (5 +5+2+1 = 10 *ace=1) that you get to add to your score of 25pts, giving you a total of 35pts for winning that hand.

Knocking – A player can knock only if the un-meld cards in their hand equal 10 or less points. If a player meets the proper requirements, then they can execute a knock by literally knocking on the table (this is the fun part) then revealing their hand by laying their cards face up on the table.
Once the cards have been placed on the table, the opponent reveals their cards. They have the option of “hitting” your cards with the un-melded cards in their hand. For example if you lay down run of 2,3,4 of diamonds and your opponent has the 5 of diamond they can “ hit” your run and that card no longer counts as part of their un-melded cards.
Once the “hitting” has taken place it’s time to tally the score. Both players should total the number of un-melded cards in their hands. You must subtract the total of your un-melded cards from the total of your opponents un-melded cards and will be the number of point received from winning the hand! For example, if your un-mleded cards equal 5pts and your opponents un-melded cards equal 30pts, you will receive 25pts for that round.
