Old card table, new card game

With heat warnings and no air conditioning, we opted to eat and hang out on the deck when Paul came over this week. In my rearrangement of the living room, I found a couple of games I'd not opened including a card style game called "Chaos" which I purchased about two years ago in Calgary. It is a variant of Rummy in which you draw cards and try to collect sets of numbers. However, it also has a "Go Fish" element and "chaos cards" which result in players exchanging hands (a move my dad always liked to offer but never carry through on). We played on a card table that we've had my entire life that my mom gave me at the end of her last garage sale. It has a real sense of nostalgia playing on it.
