French Rummy!

So today I played french rummy for the first time and I was actually quite good at it, but it has been said by a very wise woman that you are only as good as the hand you are dealt! So who all has played french rummy?? If you haven't you should give it a try and here is a little tutorial for your viewing pleasure!

here is a basic rummy tutorial on YouTube. video

but to play french rummy there are some specific requirements you need to meet during the course of the game and each round, so here is how it goes......

cards dealt/what you need to end the round
7 - two groups of 3
8 - 1 group and 1 straight of 4
9 - 2 straights
10 - 3 groups of 3
11 - 2 groups and 1 straight
12 - 2 straights and 1 group
12 - 3 straights and no discard

Maybe not every one's cup of tea but it tickled my fancy today and I wanted to share!

Gnite!
