	The aim is to reach 100 points through making melds ~~(runs or sets with 3 or more cards)~~		The aim is to reach 100 points through making melds.

	Aces are low (A-2-3). ~~Runs must~~ be ~~all~~ of the ~~same suit~~.		A successful melds is either:

			* 3 or more consecutive numbers of the same suit (runs), e.g. (3D-4D-5D)
			* 3 or 4 cards of the same number (sets), e.g. (8D-8H-8S)

			Aces are low (A-2-3). A card can only be used in one meld, not both types simultaneously.

			Each hand the objective is to reduce the sum of your unmelded cards (called deadwood) low enough that you can "knock" to end the hand. Remaining deadwood points work towards your opponent's score. Aces count as one point, all face cards as 10 points.

	* ~~Sum of~~ your ~~cards that do not form sets or run~~ is ~~called~~ "~~deadwood~~". ~~All face cards are considered as~~ 10 ~~and Aces are 1~~.		* When your deadwood value is low enough, you can call "knock" to end the hand. In Gin Rummy, you cannot knock until 10 deadwood points or less. In the Oklahoma Gin variant, you cannot knock until your deadwood value is at or below the first card turned up to start the hand.

	* ~~When your deadwood value is below 10,~~ you ~~can call "~~knock~~" and score~~ the deadwood in your opponent's hand minus the deadwood in your hand. If, however, ~~your~~ opponent has a lower deadwood value than ~~you~~, they score the difference instead as well as ~~get~~ the undercut bonus. The ~~amount of the~~ undercut bonus can be set to different values on BGA, 10 is the typical.		=== Scoring ===
			* Your base score for a hand you knock is the deadwood in your opponent's hand minus the deadwood in your hand. If, however, the opponent has a lower deadwood value than the person knocking, they score the difference instead, as well as getting the additional undercut bonus. The undercut bonus amount can be set to different values on BGA, 10 is the typical.

	* If your deadwood value is 0 (all cards are in sets or runs), you can call "gin" and score 25 points + the deadwood value of your opponent's hand.		* If you are able to get your deadwood value to 0 (all cards are in sets or runs), you can call "gin" and score an extra 25 points + the deadwood value of your opponent's hand. You may use your discard to reach this gin. However, if the table uses the Big Gin settings, should all of your cards be melded sets before your discard, you instead get a larger Big Gin bonus (worth 31 instead of 25 bonus).
			* In Oklahoma Gin, if the first card is a spade, the hand total score gained is doubled.

	* The first person who reaches 100 points wins a game and receives 100 bonus points		* The first person who reaches 100 points in regular Gin (or 150 in Oklahoma Gin) wins a game and receives 100 bonus points, worthwhile for ratings and tournament groups.
	* ~~Each~~ player scores line bonus per round won. If only a single player managed to win rounds, then that player receives additional 100 bonus points.		* At game's end each player also scores a line bonus per round won. If only a single player managed to win rounds, then that player receives additional 100 bonus points.
