Pirate Gin Rummy

Classic gin rummy with a high-seas twist — wild cards, table melds, and card steals.

Coming to the App Store

Two ways to play

Classic rules, or raise the stakes

Classic Gin

  • Draw from the stock or discard, then discard to end your turn
  • Form sets and runs, hidden in hand
  • Knock with ≤10 deadwood, or go Gin for a bonus
  • First to 100 points wins the match

Pirates Gin Rummy

  • Table melds — lay sets and runs face-up as you go
  • Wild cards — every 2 is wild, plus two jokers
  • Steal & pull from any meld on the table, yours or the enemy's
  • Dig the discard pile for more than one card
  • Go out with no knock by melding your entire hand
  • A longer race to 150, with plunder bonuses along the way
