  1. I like playing #GinRummy. And I like playing it with nice cards. You need a #poker deck for gin and there are basically two companies who create worthwhile poker decks, both based in the US: #Bicycle and #theory11. They both follow the same script: A heavily ornamented box with embossed gold print and whatnot, that contains a largely standard deck, safe for a few special designs, usually aces and jokers (not used in gin) facecards if you're lucky. The designs may even be inconsistent. 1/2

  2. And now I've also solved #BoxTwo... and it's a piece of crap :P Honestly can't recommend it at all. #BoxOne was fantastic; BoxTwo was an unfun, broken experience. (Literally, in the case of the key, which promptly snapped! I had to use an Allen wrench to start the damn game.) Please just do better, #NPH and #Theory11. Or don't, as I'm definitely not buying a BoxThree regardless. #puzzle

  3. Just solved the two #NPH #Theory11 #puzzle trails - the #BoxOne game and the one in the playing card deck :)

  4. Finally sat back down with it and solved Box One! My cat seems 5% more impressed with me. Thanks again to @Krystyn for the fun gift. #NPH #theory11 #BoxOne
