**1. Getting Started**
**==================**
**a. How to Play Rummy Challenge**
**------------------------------**
The card game, Rummy Challenge, is played with a
standard 52 card deck. There are many variations
of the card game Rummy, Rummy Challenge is one
version.
The game starts with each player being dealt
seven cards, and one card face-up in the center.
The remaining cards form the playing deck.
A player has the option of taking a card from
the deck, or taking the top card from the heap
by clicking on it.
If a player clicks on either the Card Deck or the
Heap card, a card from the deck, or heap will be
added to their hand. The player must then discard
a card from their hand. A player can not discard
a card chosen from the Heap.
As in traditional Rummy, the goal of the game is
to acquire "Gin" - a hand of seven cards arranged
into one three-card spread and one four-card
spread. A spread consists of three or more cards
of the same rank, or three or more cards of the
same suite in sequence.
If a player has acquired a "Gin" hand, then they
must click on the "GIN" button.
SCORING: The player who "Gin's" first scores the
total of matched cards in their hand. The opponent
scores the total number of matched cards in their
hand minus the total number of unmatched cards.
The Ace is worth 15 points, Face cards, and the
10 card are worth 10 points, and all other
cards are worth 5 points. The first player who
scores a total of 200 points wins.
