Rummy

"Quaker" Gin Rummy. 
This is a variation of rummy that is not found in rulebooks for rummy and seems to have evolved in Quaker circles and passed down through families. Players are dealt seven cards. The top card on the draw pile is turned over to start the discard pile. As cards are discarded, they are placed in a spread so that the cards underneath are all visible. The goal of the game is to lay down sets of three or more of the same value card or at least three in a row of the same suit. Players start their turn by drawing from the draw pile or the top card of the discard pile -- or they may take a card from below the top card of the discard pile on the condition that they take all the cards above it plus they use the starting card immediately in a set. One may also play off of other people's sets. The player marks the end of their turn by discarding-- adding one card from their hand to the discard spread. When a player has no cards left in their hand, the played cards are tallied minus the value of the cards leftover in each player's hand. There are variations on the value of cards but a common way is that low aces through 9 are worth 5 points, ten through king is worth 10 points, and high aces or sets are worth 15. (Also aces that are still in the hand at the end of play).
