Then the player 'goes Gin', and the deadwood valueĭifference plus a 20 bonus will be added to the player's score. The game will be automatically over if one of the player's deadwood value is 0. Say if A knocked, and A's deadwood value is still less than B's deadwood value, then the difference between these two values will add to A's score if B's deadwood value is less than or the same as A's value, then A has been 'undercut', and not only the difference, but also a bonus 10 points, will be added to B's score. Then both players will calculate their deadwood value after the 'lay-off'. if player A knocks and 'Heart K', 'Diamond K', and 'Sqaure K' is one of A'smelds, and if player B happens to have 'Club K' in his deadwoods, then 'Club K' wouldn't count towards B's deadwoods value). The player who didn't knock will 'lay off' if possible, meaning, he/she can get rid of the deadwoods that will complement the melds of the knocker (e.g. end the game) (also you can choose not to). When the 'deadwood value' of one player is less than or equal to 10, he/she can choose to 'knock' (i.e. The goal of the game is to get the 'deadwood' value as small as possible at the end of the game.
