Gin-Go, is the tic-for-tac rummy connection board game in which you build your link from end to end via the card spreads you make. But watch out, your opponents will try to break your link while creating their own.  

 

The winner is the player who can maintain their link until after any player empties their hand. 

 

Gin-Go is played via the unique "Suit" to Value ("Ace to King") coordinate grid and a standard 52-playing card deck (included). 

 

If you enjoy playing 500-Rummy or Bingo, it's time to make the connection with a new game and give Gin-Go a Go!

Once completed, place your suit markers on respective suit row (green on green, red on red) from left to right follow the same order as the suits appeared.

Gin-Go Game Board Flow

Laying Down the Chip With the Melds You Make

After the cards have been dealt between players (any odd number between 1 and 13); in rummy style, players can start creating melds of cards from their hand that are either cards of the same number or straights of the same suit.

​

Green, in this example, lays down a 3♠3♦3♣ and 8♥9♥10♥J♥ meld allowing that player to place their chips suit-coordinate grid.

​

However, on Red's turn, that player lays down a 2♦3♦4♦ meld with a layover 3♥ to hit off of Green's "3" meld, allowing Red to place their corresponding chips on their side of the coordinate  grid. Incidentally, this move bumps off two Green chips starting the tic-for-tac tug-o-war struggle for control of the board.

​

In Gin-Go, it's not only important to use the cards you have in your hand, but to see what cards have already been played and to use them to block, break, or build links of your own.

How to Play

Make the Connection... Then Hold It

Gin-Go board link example

If you look closely, do you see which card will both stop Red and allow Green to make a link?
 

To win in Gin-Go, you must connect your series of color chips from
A to K (doesn't need to be a straight line). A simple task, but only until a player finishes their hand and the link remains unbroken.

​

In this instance, Green must replace specific connecting chips with their own in order to prevent Red from winning. As long there are cards in hand, there is still a chance to turn the tide and advert defeat.
