History of Tonk 

Tonk is a card game also known as "Tunk". Tonk is a variation of rummy. Any number can play, although here at games4money all games are player vs. player. Tonk is a relatively fast game that can be played during brief periods of time. In some places it is a popular pastime for workers on their lunch break.

Tonk is usually played for money, with a stake agreed on before the game starts. Games typically involve two to five players. Here at Games 4 Money we feature two player Tonk. The stakes may be any amount, but are typically small because Tonk is fast and furious. Players may drop at any time and this option is used quite often.

A standard fifty-two card deck is used. Each card has a point value: Ace through ten have their face value, aces having a value of one point, deuces a value of two points, and so on. The Jack, Queen, and King are each worth ten points.
