Myself and two others get together locally and play as time permits. Myself and my one friend maybe every other week or so and all three of us maybe every couple of months or so. We use whatever cards and do not stick to any particular block if you will, just makes it easier that way for us.
I have never tried Gemp at all but reading about it off and on up here in the form. I assume that most players stick to playing certain blocks only I am not sure I would care for that to much. Do they have players that are open to using any cards?
For somebody that has never tried Gemp at all period how hard is the learning curve to really catch on to it all. Dealing, Shuffling, Drawing, Pretty much the whole thing? I would love people's input.
