Gin rummy which is also called "Gin" for short, is said to have been created back in the early 1900's by Elwood Baker, this game evolved from what was called "Whiskey poker" in the 18th century, basically this is a two player game which was thought to be faster than the standard rummy (a similar card game) and in which the aces which are supposed to be the cards with highest value in other card games, in Gin they are actually the lowest value, they have the following order: A-2-3...10-J,Q,K.
