Jack's Rum Session Report

For the most part the game played out well, aside from some minor confusion. My game, Jack's Rum, played out in a similar fashion to Black Jack. The first round was used as a means to explain the rules, using all three of my partners to play. While it took some time understand them, the gist of the game was understood. However, in order to reexplain certain factors of the game, we restarted and everyone received new cards. This time the game went by more quickly, despite several draw games, although some parts of the game were forgotten in regards of how cards are played. The third time, however, the game went smoothly. No rules were forgotten and the game went by quickly and easily, lasting only a few minutes.

In terms of feedback, there were a couple things that were made evident, including simplifying the rules in terms of words. While things were clear, I could have been more concise. The other issue was that some functions of certain cards weren't fully explained, and I simply went by assumption that people would understand what the cards stood for in regards to aces (which should have been 1) and face cards (which should be 10).
