Liverpool Rummy is a card game of three to five players with seven progressive hands and multiple decks. It?s got jokers? it?s got strategy? You can be losing all the way and then win the final hand and still take the game. It?s a game, where it ain?t over till it?s over.

But it can be much more than that?played with friends and people you?ve known and loved all your life, it?s a way of stopping time. Of holding it in your hand like a blinking firefly and getting it to linger just long enough for a summer night?s memory to be forged into a feeling you can carry in your heart. A feeling that?s easily brought back by the sound of shuffling cards and the scrape of chairs legs being dragged closer to the table.

Independent Producer Sue Mell learned to play this fierce card game from her best friend?s grandmother when she was 7.
