Panguingue

Panguingue, often called Pan, is a gambling rummy game popular in the southwest of the United States. Four to eight players take part, using eight decks of standard cards from which every eight, nine and ten has been removed, which leaves 320 cards. The odds are sometimes changed by taking out one complete set of spades, leaving 310 cards, and some tables remove a few more cards to reach 307 or 305. The name and the game may well have come from the Philippines: a Filipino dictionary lists an old Iloko card game of the Spanish era, and the Oxford English Dictionary derives panguingue from a Tagalog word. Online play and tournaments were once offered by the Pan Club.
