1.0 out of 5 stars Gin Rummy Game has some flaws, January 28, 2003

I bought this Gin Rummy game to replace one from Radio Shack that I wore out, and they don't make anymore. This game has only a few different hands, and repeats them over and over. It does not take long to memorize them and know exactly what the score will be and who will win each hand. Also, it sometimes will not let you win when you have a winning hand. For example, in one hand I had 4 10's and 8,9,J,Q&K OF the same suit. It would not allow the 10 of that suit to be played in the straight. Itstead, it kept it with the other 3 10's to make a set of 4. Therefore, the 8 & 9 were not playable when it should have been. Also, I would prefer to keep the sound off all them time, but this game requires you to turn the sound off each time a new game begins.

i got this game for my birthday and spent all day trying to figure it out. the game is vastly different from the one i am used to and even the level 1 is hard, with the computer winning 95% of the time. takes all the fun out. not to mention, that not all the buttons always work. what a bust. had my husband read the reviews, he would not have spent good money on this game. i'll go back to solitaire.
