Yesterday, my Mom and I tried to remember the rules to a double deck rummy (including jokers) game that we learned in the mid 1970's.
Basically, the first deal was 7 cards and you had to get 3 or 4 of a kind to make your first play. The second you needed a run of 4 (2,3,4,5 of hearts for example).
The only other hand we can recall is a deal of 13 and your last card picked up must be in your final meld....
