I was wondering if Tonk was a GC creation or was it just included in the =
book. I am reading a book by another author and have seen a reference to =
this card game. maybe they read Cook too.

Tonk is a card game that existed before Cook's books. My stepdad's
uncle and his friends played it years ago. He's in his 70's. I still
haven't asked him the rules, though.

I have the rules somewhere... I cant remember where I found them... I wanna
say on a cook fan page though.
if you do a search on downloads.com you can actually find a shareware
version of tonk out there. it is pretty decent.
playing the game is simple.. it is very similar to rummy.

It's located at:
http://www.blackgames.net/tonk.htm
It's not *exactly* the version played by the Black Company, but the style is
the same... It's a good way to determine if you'll like the game...
The main differences I find are:
No automatic downing on first deal <16 or >48
Bets always pay 1-1
You must spread *before* drawing
Other than that, it's pretty faithful...
Oh yeah, btw.. Hi! I'm a new member to the list :) A recent addict of the
Black Company novels :)

It also doesn't allow you to add on to existing runs.

I used to play Tonk in highschool....the rules we went by were exactly like
what the Company played.... Ahhh, the memories.
