How To Play Strip Gin Rummy
We have a brand new version of Games4TV ready for you to play, but it requires a modern web browser.
In the meantime, if you're a Games4TV member, this link will let you log in and play our Legacy games right now.
But we really recommend you upgrade and we'll show you if you'll scroll down this page. Old browsers are vulnerable to hacks and spyware, and of course, they also don't give you the great web experience that a modern browser will.
Upgrading your browser is easy, and it's Free!
Here are some options, in the order that we recommend. They are all fast, fully up-to-date web browsers that can even run on Windows XP and on Windows Vista, and they are completely free. Each of them releases an updated version every few weeks, and once you have installed the browser, it will update itself for new releases.
Each of these links will take you to the official download site for the browser. For your safety, you should only download and install your new browser from the official manufacturer's site.

Beggar-my-neighbour, also known as Strip Jack naked, Beat your neighbour out of doors,[1] or Beat Jack out of doors,[2] is a simple card game. It is somewhat similar in nature to the children's card game War, and has spawned a more complicated variant, Egyptian Ratscrew.
Origins[edit]
The game was probably invented in Britain and has been known there since at least the 1840s.[3]
It may be the same as Beat the Knave out of Doors or Knave out o' Doors, in which case it is much older as this game is mentioned as early as 1755.[4]
It appears in Charles Dickens's 1861 novel Great Expectations,[5] as the only card game Pip, the book's protagonist, seems to know how to play as a child.
Gameplay[edit]
A standard 52-card deck is divided equally between two players, and the two stacks of cards are placed on the table face down. The first player lays down their top card face up to start a central pile, and the opponent plays their top card, also face up, on it, and this goes on alternately as long as no Ace or court card (King, Queen, or Jack) appears. These cards are called 'penalty cards'.
If either player turns up such a card, their opponent has to pay a penalty: four cards for an Ace, three for a King, two for a Queen, or one for a Jack. They do this playing the required number of cards to the central pile. When they have done so, if all the cards are numerals, the player of the penalty card wins the hand, takes all the cards in the pile and places them under their pack. The game continues in the same fashion, the winner having the advantage of placing the first card. However, if the second player turns up another Ace or court card in the course of paying to the original penalty card, their payment ceases and the first player must pay to this new card. This changing of penalisation can continue indefinitely. When a single player has all of the cards in the deck in their stack, they have won.
For more than two players, play proceeds clockwise. If a player reveals a new penalty card while paying their penalty, the next player around pays the tax.[1]
Relation to mathematics[edit]
Is there a non-terminating game of beggar-my-neighbour?
A longstanding question in combinatorial game theory asks whether there is a game of beggar-my-neighbour that goes on forever. This can happen only if the game is eventually periodic—that is, if it eventually reaches some state it has been in before. Some smaller decks of cards have infinite games, while others do not. John Conway once listed this among his anti-Hilbert problems,[6]open questions whose pursuit should emphatically not drive the future of mathematical research.The search for a non-terminating game has resulted in 'longest known games' of increasing length.[7]

This problem reappears periodically. It was one of Conway’s ‘anti-Hilbert problems’ about 40 years ago, but must have suggested itself to players of the game over the several centuries of its existence.
