Tis a card game, a type of Rummy going by what I saw.

Don't think you'll be flamed because it's true - there are significant similarities.

True - There are many times when there's complete sets of kings, queens etc on that pile and they'd go straight down.

Oh yes - seen more than a few of those. In fact, I remember a deck being recycled several times consisting almost exclusively of those. The 'pick up all' rule would certainly kill that off.

As I was taught it you can hold the card if you want although tactically it's not usually in your interest to do so (other players will know you have it and not give you anything similar).

Is it worth making a definitive BD rule set?

Bwahahahahahahahaha

I won a game yesterday with just 82 points (and I'd not had a big beanie), not bad considering I managed 87 in one hand while we were away!
