We played for about half an hour before I realized we were actually playing two different games. What I’d thought of as ludo was actually a game called gin rummy, and what Warren was playing seemed to be a mixture of craps and table tennis. Once we started playing by one consistent set of rules, though, the fun was really over. Graham Parke
About This Quote

Playing games is fun and can even be very educational, but there are some games that are so confusing that they seem to baffle even the smartest of people. The game of Gin rummy is one of those, as it involves so many different rules and so many different combinations of numbers that it seems almost impossible for even the most intelligent of people to learn it. However, the game of Gin Rummy has more than one set of rules. The more complicated rules of Gin Rummy are actually known as Gin Rummy Classic. However, the rules of Gin Rummy Classic are not nearly as complicated as some other games, such as hanabi (a game similar to hanafuda) or hanabi (which has similar rules to hanafuda).
