Progressive Gin Rummy Cards

Progressive Gin is a calm, beautifully crafted take on Progressive Rummy, the rising-contract card game families have played around the kitchen table for generations. You might know it as May I?, Shanghai, Liverpool, Kalooki, or contract rummy. Free to play, the whole game. No ads, no coins, no tracking, no internet required. Just a quiet card room and a good game.

HOW IT PLAYS
Across seven rounds the goal grows: two groups of three, then a group and a run, all the way to three runs of four. Each round you draw, build your melds, lay them down, and race to shed every card. Lowest score after seven rounds wins. Jokers are wild, and you can play more than one in a meld, as long as one real card goes with them.

BUY THE PILE
When another player is about to draw, jump in and buy the top discard. It comes with two hidden cards off the deck: a gamble that can complete your hand or fill it with deadwood. You always get your full buy time, even when someone else wants the same card. Tap Buy and ask. Sometimes they'll let you have it.

CARDS THAT MOVE LIKE CARDS
Rose deals you in one card at a time, round the table. The pile you buy slides into your hand and turns face up where you can see it. The melds you lay down settle with a soft gold glow, and when a round ends everyone turns their cards over before the scores come up. Full Reduce Motion support, and you set the pace.

YOUR HOUSE, YOUR RULES
Every family plays a little differently, so you can too. Pick a table to start, The Aunties' House, High Roller, Easy Chair, or Sharp Table, then tune it to taste: how much jokers and aces sting when you're caught with them, and how many times you can buy the pile each round. Your table, your rules. The title screen always shows which one you're playing.

A TABLE WITH CHARACTER
Rose deals you in, and the card-room regulars, Frank, June, Artie, Pearl, Walt, and Hazel, sit across from you in person: six hand-drawn characters who blink, think over their cards, and look quietly proud when they go down. Tell Rose your name and the whole table greets you by it. They play a smart, honest game. No "rigged" computer, no pay-to-win.
