Arranging the Cards in Your Hand
You already know how to move a card in your hand from the "Picking up and Moving a Card" lesson in this tutorial. In this lesson, we'll show you how you can:
- Select a single card
- Deselect a single card
- Select and move multiple cards
Selecting a Single Card
To select a single card, simply shift-click on the card
Deselecting a Single Card
As you might expect, you deselect a card by performing the same action as selecting a card. That is, you shift-click on a card.
Selecting and moving multiple cards
There are two ways to select more than one card in Classic Gin Rummy. You can:
- click outside of your hand and drag the cursor around the cards to select, or
Selecting several cards at once
shift-click on individual cards to select
A non-contiguous selection
Once you have more than one card selected, you can move them all at once by clicking (and holding the button down) on one of selected cards. You can then drag the cards to a new position in your hand, or to the meld area, if you'd like (or need) to meld.
If you don't use the "Auto-Meld" feature to automatically meld your cards, you usually will use one of the above methods to select multiple cards of a meld, which you can then drag to the meld area.
