Gin Rummy bug fix

I updated Gin Rummy with a new library which should fix any problems rearranging your cards. I personally have not experienced any problems with rearranging the cards in Gin Rummy, but a few people told me that they had.

If you still have problems, please let me know. It would help if you can tell me what type of device you are using (laptop, iPad, desktop?), which browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari?), and whether you are using a mouse or touchscreen or something else. Thanks!

Gin Rummy rearranging your cards

In case you want a quick demo, I have a YouTube video which demonstrates how "drag-and-drop" works for rearranging your cards in Gin Rummy.

[Edit: this afternoon, I got reports from one person that they were having problems with Gin Rummy, so I reverted these changes for now... hopefully I can fix this, and reapply the change soon.]

my partner, the dealer, is going to pass on this up card, a jack...

I'll call clubs with only the king and nine of clubs, using "reverse next" strategy. Will it work??
