The card game Gin, also known as Gin Rummy, was invented by Elwood T. Baker and his son, C. Graham Baker, in 1909. Elwood T. Baker was a teacher of whist, a predecessor of bridge, and his son was a screenwriter in Hollywood. The game was developed as a faster variant of the older game Rummy, which was popular at the time. Gin Rummy quickly gained popularity in the United States, particularly during the early 20th century, and has remained a beloved card game ever since.
