Learned this game from my grandma of all places-haven't been able to get the rules since she died...thanks for having them here! I want to pass this very fun game on to my sons and grandkids :)

I also learned this from my family and Grandma... Juanita Philips. Brian Evarts, Sacramento, California

My family sometimes called this game Escalaro. As time went on and we forgot the correct sets for each round, we made up our own requirements. My grandfather, who was normally so quiet and shy, got so excited over buying cards or preventing other players from buying.

I learn this game growing up with my family here in Kentucky. My uncle would buy my bids out from under me all the time. It was a fun game that all the family could play together. We've often have so many players we would have to have four decks of cards to play and you had to have someone help you shuffle the cards when it was your turn.
