I've always wanted to learn, and went so far as to buy a set. Trouble is, I can't quite get it by myself, and don't know anyone who could teach me.
Gin was a game my mother taught me. Trouble is, if she wants to play, she has to re-teach me the game just about every time. After a few games, I start winning. She would have liked for me to remember how to play, but was glad that I didn't fall into the trap of gin or hearts games in college.
