Tell us about your game!
This is a single player card game that plays similarly to Single Player Gin Rummy. In Single player gin rummy you shuffle a joker into the deck and then deal yourself 10 cards. You play by drawing a card from the deck and attempt to make melds as per usual until you either choose to end the game or draw the joker.

In this version, the "Joker" is the Shadow. You deal yourself 10 cards from the deck (no shadow in it so I don't have to deal with a situation where you deal yourself the shadow to start) and then the shadow is added to the deck and the deck reshuffled.

You can either choose to select the discard card on your first turn, or after that only draw from the deck. Play continues until you click "Alchemmy!" to end it or you draw the shadow.

However it ends your score will be tallied and displayed: score all your sets and then subtract cards not in sets. This is your final total.
