i am 31 I can't figure it out, none of my friends or family members could either. this game isn't very good.. don't waste your money.. your choice really

I bought this Gin Rummy game to replace one from Radio Shack that I wore out, and they don't make anymore. This game has only a few different hands, and repeats them over and over. It does not take long to memorize them and know exactly what the score will be and who will win each hand. Also, it sometimes will not let you win when you have a winning hand. For example, in one hand I had 4 10's and 8,9,J,Q&K OF the same suit. It would not allow the 10 of that suit to be played in the straight. Itstead, it kept it with the other 3 10's to make a set of 4. Therefore, the 8 & 9 were not playable when it should have been. Also, I would prefer to keep the sound off all them time, but this game requires you to turn the sound off each time a new game begins.

i got this game for my birthday and spent all day trying to figure it out. the game is vastly different from the one i am used to and even the level 1 is hard, with the computer winning 95% of the time. takes all the fun out. not to mention, that not all the buttons always work. what a bust. had my husband read the reviews, he would not have spent good money on this game. i'll go back to solitaire.

I have another Gin Rummy handheld electronic game by Radica. My older game is much less complex and I find the same games/deals repeating. This new Gin Rummy by Excalibur has more options and I have yet to find games repeating on me. My only complaint is that the screen is sometimes hard to read in lower light (and differentiate between some of the suit indicators). Overall, I am very pleased.

the game is great except for the fsct that it is almost impossible to read the suits on the cards. these need to be bigger. your original game was much better. im also looking for your original hearts card game and cant find it. do you still make it? thank you.

This gin rummy game is fun and convenient to take on trips to keep kids entertained, and also to teach them how to play the game with a deck of cards.

It's not gin rummy but a version all of it's own with it's own built in refusal to allow the player to accomplish moves that are usually in gin rummy, giving the player no options to accomplish true gin rummy plays and the advantage only to it's built in software. If you like to play gin rummy DON'T BUY IT.
