We bought London Go Fish, Old Maid and War for Christmas, so we''ve been busy with that. JD doesn''t play cards or board games, so I''ve not played in years. I did have a boyfriend teach me to play Gin..or Gin Rummy..is there a difference? Anyway, he showed me how to play and after he beat me the 1st time, I skunked his ass every time, so he wouldn''t play anymore.

Haha I''m sure there''s a more kosher name for it

Basically, it''s WAR but when you lay down doubles, the first person to slap the pile gets the entire pile. Makes for a violent game at times. I think that''s the only difference?

I don''t play cards as often as I used to, but I still like Gin/Rummy, Spit, Skip-Bo, and one called Golf. I''ll occasionally play Solitaire too.

haha - thanks BEG

BTW I think Gin and Rummy are two DIFFERENT games that some people have merged because there are some similarities - and thus there is now a gin rummy which is a combo of the two. Originally I think they were different through as gin you put your 7 cards down all at once and rummy you build and sometimes have more than 7 cards and a lot of varieties to play.
