Oklahoma Gin is another variation of Gin Rummy. You can have up to four people playing Oklahoma Gin. If you have two players playing then each player gets 10 cards. If you have three or four players then each player gets 7 cards.

The aim of the game is to get rid of all your cards as quickly as possible with the winner being the first person to do so. What you need to do is to meld your cards into sets and runs and lay them aside. The meaning of a set is 3 or 4 cards of the same value and a run is three or more consecutive cards of the same suit.

In order to start the game a player will draw a card from the stock pile or the discarded cards pile and add it to their hand. If they need the card they can keep it and discard one of their other cards.
There are three ways in which you can win in Oklahoma Gin and these are by getting Gin, by Knocking, and by Undercutting. Gin is when you meld all your cards in your hand laying them down on the table and discarding your last card. A knock is when a player will meld all the cards in their hand and the deadwood count that remains is identical to the opening cards face value or lower.

After knocking the other player can then lay down their melds to help reduce their penalty points. An undercut is when this players deadwood count is identical or lower than the knockers and therefore they win.

The winner of the game is the person who has the highest amount of points. If you happen to get Gin you will get the most points as gin gets a player 25 points. A knock will get you 10 points, and an undercut will get you 20 points.

Oklahoma Gin is a fun and exciting game that requires some skill but this is easily learned.

Until next time,

Deal Those Cards
