A few members of the Jaycettes’ Club of Yorkton in the 1960s take time out from busy organizational activities for a game of Rummoli. The group was founded around 1965, and their role was to assist the local Junior Chamber of Commerce (Jaycees) in their endeavours. The Yorkton Jaycees were proud of the city and worked to promote its best interests. This organization of young professional and business men (Originally an American organization - Junior Citizens) were an internationally very powerful group in the 1960s, doing much work for their communities.
Rummoli is a family card game for 2 to 8 people. This Canadian board game, first marketed in 1940 by the Copp Clark Publishing Company of Toronto[1] requires a Rummoli board, a deck of playing cards (52 cards, no jokers), and chips or coins to play. The game is usually played for fun, or for small stakes. Rummoli is similar to Michigan Rummy.
