The game of Gin was Hollywood's game. When it stormed through that town in the '40s, you could see Gin being played on the silver screen by all types of movie stars. Refined in the early 1900s at the Knickerbocker Whist Club in New York, Gin is the perfect social card game. It's not so strategic as to preclude chatting, but it still provides real competitive kick and a gleeful way to gloat when the cards are laid down, and "Gin" is scored. Not every online gaming site has Gin. But it's taking off on PlaySite. Take a break from your day and try it! [IMAGE] [IMAGE] [IMAGE] Tournament Time What better way to test your gaming skills than to compete in an online tournament with other top-ranked competitors? PlaySite offers automatically scheduled tournaments in seven games: Backgammon, Checkers, Chess, Go-Moku, Hex, Mancala and Reversi. Some games have tournaments geared for the beginning player. Backgammon has tournaments for those rated Under 1500 and an Open class. Checkers and Chess both have tournaments for those rated Under 1300 and a separate Open class. Playing in a tournament is easy and fun. Go to your favorite game page, and click to enter the tournament room.
