Gin Rummy
Read full descriptionHide full description
Gin Rummy is a two-player card game which requires a 5 tool set to master. PLAY A FRIEND Create a table and share the invite link in Messages. Tapping it opens the game straight on their phone. Both players ready up and the hand is dealt. PRACTICE ANY TIME No one free? Play a hand against the built-in bot to warm up or learn the flow. THE RULES, PLAYED PROPERLY • Sets and runs, ten-card hands, draw or take the discard • The down card sets the knock limit — an ace down card means no knocking that hand • Gin scores 25 plus your opponent's unmelded count; EO scores 50 plus • First to 125 takes the match, and the last winner deals KEEP SCORE AT THE KITCHEN TABLE Playing with real cards? The built-in scorecard tallies hands, deadwood, and match points for an in-person game — no online table needed. YOUR RECORD Every finished match lands in your game log with the score, the hands won, and your running win rate. TALK A LITTLE TRASH Chat at the table while you play. Block anyone whose messages you'd rather not see, or report a message and we'll review it. Sign in with Apple or an email address. No ads. No in-app purchases. No real-money play — the match points are just how gin has always been scored.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Gin Rummy at none against Hearts+'s 9. Gin Rummy also leads on ads (none vs shown). Hearts+'s advantage is chart position (#197 vs unranked). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
