Gin Deadwood Practice: from controls to your first round
Before making a move, check the cards in view. Find the minimum value of unmatched cards after choosing non-overlapping Gin melds. The same rule applies on a phone and on a computer. Begin with the objective. Start a 10-question session. Read the visible rule label and wild rank, if shown. Take the next action only when the current step is clear.
500 stored and rule-checked questions; ten questions per session. Questions can repeat across sessions. Practice is solo, with no rating, cash reward or account.
