What is Gin Rummy?

Gin Rummy is a classic and engaging two-player card game where the goal is to strategically arrange your hand into sets (groups of the same rank) or runs (sequences of the same suit). Players aim to eliminate these combinations from their hand to score points. The game ends when a player reaches the target score, typically set at 100 points.
