    If you have heard of other names for a game similar to this, e-mail me. Thanks.

    Some call it "Nickel Nickel " players throw a nickel into the pot (dish) at the beginning of each game and a nickel to the winner of each hand. Winner at the end gets all the nickels in the pot.

    My grandparents taught me this about 30+ years ago. My grandfather was in the army so he may have learned it there. From what I have read, it may also be based on a popular game from the 30's/40's

    Need complete set of rules. Where can i
    For example, first hand 3’s are wild, second hand 4’s are wild , fifth hand what is wild 4’s or 5’s?
    Jokers are removed
    What is girl if each hand? Runs? Stets? What are we trying to accomplish at each hand. After we have laid down our accomplished task do we have to wait for our turn again to lay down on opponents?
