Arlington

Also known as Oklahoma Rummy (not to be confused with Oklahoma Gin), this is a meld scoring rummy game in which a player has the choice of drawing the top card of the stock or taking the whole discard pile if its top card can be used with two cards from hand to make a new meld. It features wild deuces and a special high score for the Queen of Spades. Rules for Arlington can be found on this archive page by Howard Fosdick.

On the same page, Howard Fosdick has also published rules of Fortune Rummy, a similar game described by John Scarne as having been popular in the American midwest in the 1940's.
