God is giving us great joys!
Did someone say Liverpool? Merseyside is my paternal homeland, and a regular destination to cure me of any latent Midwesternisms that Manhattan hasn't done away with, yet. My granddad was actually Lord Mayor at one time, and a member of the City Council for decades.
What is this "playing Liverpool" you speak of?
Liverpool, alas, has nothing to do with the city, I don't believe. It is also called Russian Rummy. A version of the game has been marketed as "Phase 10" or some such. But in real liverpool, everyone needs to get the exactly same combo to go down in each hand. It starts out with 2 sets of three, then 2 runs of four, then three sets of three, then 2 sets of three and one run of four, then 2 runs of four and one set of three, then the biggy is three runs of four or more *with no discards.* It is a hoot of a game - especially when you're winning. ;)
