==Objective== The objective in Gin Rummy is to be the first to reach an agreed-upon score, usually 100 points. The basic game strategy is to improve one's hand by ''[[Meld (cards)|melds]]'' and eliminating ''deadwood''. Gin has two types of meld: [[Set (cards)|''Sets'']] of three or four cards sharing the same rank, e.g. {{cards|8h|8d|8s}}; and [[Run (cards)|''runs'']] or sequences of three or more cards in the same suit, such as {{cards|3h|4h|5h}} or more. Deadwood cards are those not in any meld. Aces are considered low—they can form a set with other aces but only the low end of runs ({{cards|As|2s|3s}} is a legal run but {{cards|Qs|Ks|As}} is not). A player can form any combination of melds within their hand; all sets, all runs, or some sets and some runs.
