Yes and no. I learned to play it when I was 17, and no one (including me) had ever heard of the game until then. It was popular in the Midwest, but no written rules so different areas had different rules.
When I learned it, the play was 10 cards down to one. I can’t imagine the boredom of sitting through one card to ten then back to one. I even invented a score sheet, which I still have, in the hopes that some day, I’ll find someone who knows the game.
