Your guide to Gin Deadwood Practice
Treat this as a chance to practise one rule. Find the minimum value of unmatched cards after choosing non-overlapping Gin melds. Return to the explanation when a decision is unclear. Take a moment to read the table. Start a 10-question session. Read the visible rule label and wild rank, if shown. Use another round to revisit a decision.
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.
An idea for your next attempt
Keep the active rule in mind. Aces are low and worth 1; faces count 10; other cards count their face value. Check the relevant controls before continuing.

A closer look at one example
Example hand: J♣ 5♦ 2♥ 9♣ 6♦ 10♣ J♥ 10♦ 8♥ 10♠. The minimum is 50 points. Unmatched cards: J♣, 5♦, 2♥, 9♣, 6♦, J♥, 8♥. Aces count 1, face cards 10; a card may belong to only one meld. The same rule applies on a phone and on a computer.
An important reminder
Before making a move, check the cards in view. One card cannot be part of a run and a set at the same time. Check the relevant controls before continuing.
