Message: [QUOTE="Windrider6, post: 287513, member: 232"] I grew up playing Rummoli. My great-aunt introduced our family to it when she made us a game board to play on, basically liquid embroidery on big a piece of cloth. The cloth has something like 9 (?) different pots that can be won during the game. She made us "chips" by cutting out round disks from bleach bottles. We switched over to using pennies instead, because they are smaller. The game works well with 3 to 5 people, but more than that, the play doesn't get interrupted much like its supposed to by the dummy hand. Regular playing cards are used, without the jokers. All cards are passed out to the players, including a dummy hand. Each player starts out the game with the same number of betting chips, and each hand starts with the players setting out chips in each of 9 (?), pots on the board. The game play is in two parts, first a poker hand to see who gets to play first, and get the chips in the "poker pot". Then they play their smallest card, and everyone continues to play cards in that suit in increasing order. When the play is interrupted because the next card is in the dummy hand, the player who played last then plays their smallest card of the other color, and play continues. The first player to run out of cards wins the Rummolie pot, and play stops. Then the players figure out which cards, or combination of cards they played that won the various other pots on the board, such as the Queen of Clubs, Jack of Diamonds, 7, 8, and 9 of the same suit, etc. Successive hands are played, with players gaining or loosing chips. We generally play until we get tired of it. Sometimes a player will run out chips, and will be out of the game. At that point, we like to keep the game going for them, and the other players loan that player some chips. We keep it friendly. [/QUOTE]
