Gin Rummy is taking the rest
OF the country just as 1t took
Hollywood where 1t has just about
replaced mtvie making as the
towns first interest.
The game is simple. Two or
more can play. And probably 40
million people are either playing ii
now-or want to. This and three
articles to follow will tell you how
to play the game.
Gin Rummy began a.
"minor" pastime In the New
York bridge clubs. notably the
knickerbocker whist club.
where duplicate bridge was
first played In America The
"minor" games at bridge clubs
are those two handed and
three handed games played
while waiting for n fourth TO
complete a table OF bridge.
Backgammon. a game as old as
chess. but little played in this
country, swept the country after
IL was revived in the card clubs.
Pinochle, casino. and piquet have
all had spurts of popularity from
the same cause
Gin Rummy, as the name
indicates, IL one form of the
game of Rummy which Is
played In many different ways.
All forms have this In com
mon, however-fhe object of
the player IL TO form his hand
into sets or melds. Each set
must comprise not less than
three cards, and there are
only two kinds Of sets that
count: three or four cards Of
the same denomination, such
as three queens; and three or
more cards of the same suit
In sequence, such "a eight
nineteen of spades
In some circles, a sequence Is
United to three or four cards, so
hat it will not have an advantage |
'ver three or four of a kind, but :,
his is a house rule" The gen.
.ral laws of Rummy permit Sc
luences to be built without limi-
alton.
II In better to use the term
sets than ''melds." BY meId-
ing Ii usually meant the plac-
ing Of some cards face up on
the table to score points for
the combination. In many
forms of Rummy, including
Gin, there is no NEEDING dur
Ing the course of the game.
Play ends when one player can
lay down his whole hand, and
