The non-dealer may pick this up if they decline, the dealer may take it. The exception is the first turn, when the dealer turns over the top of the stockpile to form the first card in the discard pile. In turn, each player draws a card either from the stockpile or the top of the discard pile, puts it in their hand, then discards a card. Not a bad fan club for a two-player game.īoth players get 10 cards.
Even James Bond was at it (in Goldfinger and Live and Let Die). Oliver Hardy's addiction to the game cost him thousands of dollars a week. So many classic films contain a scene where the male lead lays down his cards and casually declares 'Gin!'.
