My stepdad's uncle and his friends played it years ago. He's in his 70's. I still haven't asked him the rules, though. ======================================================================= To unsubscribe, subscribe, or access the archives of this list, visit . ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 26 Sep 2000 13:07:08 -0400 From: AndersNJ@bscmail.buffalostate.edu Subject: RE: (glencook-fans) Tonk?

It's a good way to determine if you'll like the game... The main differences I find are: No automatic downing on first deal <16 or >48 Bets always pay 1-1 You must spread *before* drawing Other than that, it's pretty faithful... Oh yeah, btw.. Hi!
