Who cares? I thought this would be a nice little post about my favorite card game. I was sadly disappointed. I would, however, have to say "in." Webster's definition of "in": "used as a function word to indicate inclusion, location, or position within limits ." or .
I do this grudgingly, though, since I have always said "on."
