Gin Rummy is my game of choice. We always played it growing up, and it was something I learned from my mother. I wanted to brush up on my knowledge of the game though since we mostly played straight as kids. While I am more or less comfortable with Oklahoma this book really helped to iron out some good game-play tactics, tips, and tricks for winning a hand.

The book could be a little dry in parts, and I think I am better at learning through doing rather than reading, but I am definitely excited to integrate some of these plays in my next game.
