It was later adapted for television twice. The 2003 film of the same name starred Dick Van Dyke and Mary Tyler Moore and it was directed by Arvin Brown.Basic Rules
The game is played by two players with a standard 52-card deck. The cards have their standard value, with the king being the highest and the ace the lowest. The point of the game, to put it simply is to organise your cards in melds, and try to eliminate any deadwood. There are two ways in which the cards can be grouped in melds:
·By rank – If you have three or four cards of the same value/rank, for example 3 7s, then you have a meld;
·In a sequence – Three or more cards that are aligned in a sequence (e.g. 4-5-6-7) all in the same suit.
The dealer deals to the opponent and him/herself 10 cards. The next card is then placed face up. That is the first card of the discard pile. The rest of the cards form the stock pile. Then players take turns in drawing cards from the pile of their choice, leaving one of their current cards in the discard pile.

Games Based On Luck
There are three ways in which a hand may finish:
·One of the players may knock;
·One of the players may go gin;
·There are only two cards left in the stock pile.
If one of the players collects 100 or more points, then s/he may knock the other player. In the standard version of the game, the player who knocks isn’t allowed to have more than 10 deadwood points.
If the player is able to knock and s/he doesn’t have any deadwood, then that player is going gin. If the players keep drawing until there are only two cards in the stock pile the game ends in a draw and nobody wins any points.
Other Versions of the Game
In addition to standard Gin, or Gin rummy, there several other variants of the game.
·Mahjong Gin – In this version of the game, the players have to win by going gin, as knocking isn’t allowed. However, it is possible to draw more than one card simultaneously.
·Straight Gin – Again, players may only win by going gin. The other rules are the same as standard Gin.
