Count of Undolpho said:Cribbage is a fantastic game it is a good Solitaire, a heavenly 2 player, an ok 3 player and a rather fine 4 player game. If memory serves!
I spent 14 years without a TV in a bachelor pad. We used to play 2 pack Stop the Bus and Gin Rummy if there were 'many' of us - Great days.
Normally I like to play crib cut throat....everyone against each other. However, when I have a good partner I don't mind playing that way sometimes. Head to head's (two player) the best though.
Man, I played many thousands of Gin Rummy hands. Learned on 7 card Rummy when I was little, then went to 10 card and never looked back. I usta play call as well, which I actually prefer.
Then we'd play Hollywood Gin, which is scoring three games at once....great money game with paying double for getting skunked.
There was a guy named Stu Unger, who was the New York Gin Rummy champion when he was a teenager. He went on to being a top Hold Em player. A card genius who unfortunately had some unbeatable demons.
