About the Straight Gin leaderboard

- Signed-in players keep a permanent name on the board and sync records across devices; guests can still post a display name.
- Switch between Today, This Week, This Month and All Time above to see recent form or lifetime bests.
What counts as a good Straight Gin time?
Times vary a lot by player and by deal, but here's a rough guide to aim for:
| Just learning | Winning the hand at all is the goal - don't watch the clock yet. |
|---|---|
| Casual player | A comfortable, unhurried win, usually a few minutes. |
| Getting good | A win in under ~2 minutes with few wasted turns. |
| Speed runner | A gin-rummy win in well under a minute on a friendly deal - fast melds and a decisive knock. |
The fastest way to climb this board isn't frantic clicking - it's making fewer, smarter turns so the clock barely moves while you plan your melds.
