Shuffle the deck and deal these 10 cards to each player. Players need to look at them and arrange their cards.

The next card needs to turn the upcard in the center of the table to begin the discard pile. This card is very signal it ends the highest number of points a player must have remaining in one's hand after the player knocks (see Knocking below). For example: after it's a face card or 10, a player need to knock with 10 points or less.

After it's a 6, a player need to knock with 6 points or less.

The remaining cards are placed face down is next to the discard pile to make a draw pile.

2. Just take that face up card into the discard pile.

Note: On the first turn of all rounds, the non-dealer wants the first upcard or not. After the non-dealer refuse, the dealer needs to take the top card from the draw pile. After one of the players take the card, this player to end one's turn and the other player needs to play next. After 2 players refuse to take that upcard, the non-dealer needs to begin the game.

After knocking and discarding, the player needs to arrange and spread by all of one's cards are as faceup on the table.

The player wouldn't knock does the same. After the knocker won't go gin (see Going Ginbelow), one's opponent is allowed to lay off with unmelded cards by totaling to the knocker's sets (for example: adding a 4th card to a group of 3 of a kind or add by any additional consecutive cards of the same suit to a sequence).

After the knocker without unmelded cards, it's known as going gin and the knocker must score a 25 point bonus (some causes to say the bonus must be 20 points). Additionally: one's opponent will not score any points with collected meld cards.
