Can you play Texas Hold'em with 20 people on a single deck?....didnt think so....damn crooks have a somewhat smart lawyer to call this a game between friends

What Mount Pleasant Municipal Judge Larry Duffy didn't decide is whether that determination matters under an 1802 South Carolina law that, read literally, makes any game with cards or dice — including popular board games such as Monopoly and Sorry — illegal.

Of all the stupid... how do these laws remain on the books for over 200 years???
