Straight gin rules

In straight gin you may not knock. The hand only ends when a player goes gin, with all 10 cards in melds. Everything else, including scoring, is the same as standard gin rummy (Wikipedia).

Gin scores 20 + the other player’s deadwood. There is no laying off after gin.
If the stock runs down to two cards without gin, the hand is a draw.
The game on this site goes to 100 points. Some players use a higher target because every hand needs gin.

Tips for straight gin

Low deadwood alone does not help you: only complete melds count. Keep cards that can still become melds.
Because hands last longer, watching the discard pile matters even more.
High cards cost you more when the other player goes gin, so dump the ones that are not working.
