criminologists apparently invented by
the English poet Sir John suckling in
the early 1600s and beloved especially
by American submarine crews this card

unique the most distinct is perhaps the
traditional scoring board which contains
a series of holes referred to as streets
where a tally of points is kept using
small pegs and players try to reach a
specific score often 121
each game is played with stages that
include the deal the play and the show

two-player game is to improve your hand
by creating melds and by removing dead
wood melds are sets of three or four
matching cards like three 9s for example
or a run of three or more successive
cards that share the same suit like the
seven eight and nine of Hearts Deadwood
cards are those one offs that don’t
belong in any meld I just got the king
she’s right
practice all you want but you’ll never
be as good at gin as professional card
player Stu Ungar he’s considered the
greatest player ever who had an almost
psychic skill to see his rivals cards
since I got the six of Hearts
you got the eight of Hearts along with
the eight of clubs the six of clubs and
the seven I see it could be spades of
diamonds I’m not really sure not that it
would matter in her hand all right kid
