MAD GIN

MAD GIN is straight up ready!  A night in for Betty and Don?  Gin is the quintessential quick card game for two people.  Some say it came from a desire to get in a shorter play than poker.  Elwood Thomas Baker was a reporter and cartoonist for a Brooklyn newspaper.  Elwood and his son, Charles Graham Baker, a writer and producer of movies in Hollywood, invented the game of Gin Rummy in 1909 at the illustrious Knickerbocker Whist Club in NYC.  It is rumored to be a play on words of some of their favorite liquors consumed while playing cards, and a not so subtle jab at the Anti-Saloon League who were gaining ground for the prohibition act in 1920.  Can you picture the advertising campaign by Don Draper and the Sterling Cooper team? It can be quick, painless and get the job done just like Don Draper ... or a martini.  Otherwise, keep going and rack up those points, endorphins and cocktail napkins!
