• Gin is the quintessential quick card game for two people.  Some say it came from a desire to get in a shorter play than poker.  Elwood Thomas Baker was a reporter and cartoonist for a Brooklyn newspaper.  Elwood and his son, Charles Graham Baker, a writer and producer of movies in Hollywood, invented the game of Gin Rummy in 1909 at the illustrious Knickerbocker Whist Club in NYC.  It is rumored to be a play on words of some of their favorite liquors consumed while playing cards, and a not so subtle jab at the Anti-Saloon League who were gaining ground for the prohibition act in 1920.  Can you picture the advertising campaign by Don Draper and the Sterling Cooper team?
• It can be quick, painless and get the job done just like Don Draper ... or a martini.  Otherwise, keep going and rack up those points, endorphins and cocktail napkins!
• Be the first to gin or reach the point total
