Discarding a Card
To finish your turn, you need to either discard a card or go out (we'll cover the latter option in a minute).
There are two ways to discard a card with the mouse in Classic Gin Rummy. You can:
- click and drag the card to the discard pile, or
- double-click on the card you'd like to discard
If you drag the card to the discard pile, you'll notice that the hand cursor changes to one with a "minus" (-) sign in the middle of it when the card hovers over the discard pile. This is to remind you that you are discarding the card from your hand. The discard pile is also highlighted, indicating that you can discard at this time.
Discarding a card - notice that the cursor changes to a "minus" sign
If you can't discard, but try anyway, the minus sign won't appear in the cursor, and the discard pile won't highlight.
