Know the goal in Gin Deadwood Practice
Look at the complete hand before deciding. Find the minimum value of unmatched cards after choosing non-overlapping Gin melds. Use another round to revisit a decision. For a calm first round, focus on one decision. Start a 10-question session. Read the visible rule label and wild rank, if shown. Take the next action only when the current step is clear.
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
Begin with the objective. Aces are low and worth 1; faces count 10; other cards count their face value. Check the relevant controls before continuing.

Input guidance
Tap the answer buttons or selected card; the deadwood exercise uses a numeric input. Next question appears after an answer. Use another round to revisit a decision. Work at your own pace.
Try this 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.
A useful caution
Before making a move, check the cards in view. One card cannot be part of a run and a set at the same time. Return to the explanation when a decision is unclear.
