We have two boosters in Grand Gin Rummy. Boosters can be activated before a game and only apply to the game played directly after being activated. Trophy protection: When this booster is active, no trophies will be lost when you lose a game. Double XP: When this booster is active, you will win twice the XP, no matter if you win or lose.

This mode is a one-round game and the player who wins the round wins the game. Knocking is possible as soon as a player has 10 deadwood or less in their hand.

When you play games, you win or lose trophies depending on the result. To move up in the league, you need to win more trophies. Each table has a limit for the maximum amount of trophies that can be won playing that table. You will still be able to play on this table, but you will not earn any additional trophies. At the end of every season, your trophy count is reset when the league ends.

If a player knocks without having gin or big gin and with a deadwood value equal to or higher than their opponent's deadwood value, the opponent undercuts the knocking player. This results in the opponent gaining an additional 25 bonus points which is added to the deadwood difference.

A win streak occurs when you win several games in a row on a table that has the feature enabled.
