Can anybody out there help me find a set of rules tfor the card game - Newmarket. It might be called something else in the states, like Kentucky or something. Four players and one card is removed…play cards in numerical oreder and something about who takes the jack of spades… Really, I need to find out a bit more than I know. Really enjoyed playing it several years ago but we were all drunk and not one of us can remember how to play! Doh!
