Know the goal in Gin Deadwood Practice
Keep the active rule in mind. Find the minimum value of unmatched cards after choosing non-overlapping Gin melds. The same rule applies on a phone and on a computer. For a calm first round, focus on one decision. Start a 10-question session. Read the visible rule label and wild rank, if shown. Return to the explanation when a decision is unclear.
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.
Practice beyond the first move
Use the rule sheet as a reference. Aces are low and worth 1; faces count 10; other cards count their face value. Check the relevant controls before continuing.

A walkthrough of the rules
- Start a 10-question session. Read the visible rule label and wild rank, if shown.
- Aces are low and worth 1; faces count 10; other cards count their face value.

How to use the controls
Tap the answer buttons or selected card; the deadwood exercise uses a numeric input. Next question appears after an answer. Check the relevant controls before continuing. Work at your own pace.
Work through an example
Example hand: 6♦ 7♦ 8♦ 7♠ A♦ 2♥ 8♥ 9♥ 2♦ 10♦. The minimum is 39 points. Unmatched cards: 7♠, A♦, 2♥, 8♥, 9♥, 2♦, 10♦. Aces count 1, face cards 10; a card may belong to only one meld. Take the next action only when the current step is clear.
One detail worth checking
Begin with the objective. One card cannot be part of a run and a set at the same time. Use another round to revisit a decision.
