60 FOUR SEASONS BREEZE | MARCH 2019 Canasta #1 Join us for an afternoon of friendship and fun while playing a game of Hand and Foot Canasta. We meet Thursdays in the RCN Lobby from 12:45 to 4 pm. Table assignments are distributed at 12:45 pm. Each week, you may play with someone different, giving you an opportunity to meet new friends and/or visit with old friends. We supply the cards, so just bring yourself and a desire to have fun. If you don't know how to play, we are always happy to set up a teaching table — by the end of the afternoon you will have mastered the game. Come join us. ~ Pam Morales Bunco We play on the second and fourth Fridays of the month. Bunco is very easy to play and it's a great way to meet new friends. We meet in The Lodge Game Room at 1 pm sharp. Please be on time! ~ Ema Hajdukovic Mah Jongg Everybody is welcome to join us for Mah Jongg at 12:30 pm on Mondays in the Rec Center North. We accept beginners and offer coaching for those who have not played in several years. A current Mah Jongg card is required but you can borrow or copy one until you get your own. You do not have to own a Mah Jongg set to join the fun, so come on out! ~ Barbara Goodreau Pinochle for Fun Uptown Divas Bid Whist Join us! Whether you are a seasoned player or new to the game, we welcome you. Pinochle is an exciting card game where you bid and bluff to name trump and take control of the game. This stimulating game is a time-honored favorite. Winning is not just the luck of the draw; it is a thinking game which teases the mind and keeps it sharp. We meet in the RCN Building - Activity Room #1 on Mondays and Wednesdays from 9:30 am to noon. Our Chair is Karen Farmer. ~ Karen Farmer We are looking for players, substitute players, and people who are interested in learning the game. I am happy to teach anyone who wishes to learn the game, either individually or in a small group, your home or mine. Pan is a card game, much on the order of gin in some respects, and played with up to eight people at a table. It is played by both men and women, so all are very welcome. The game can be played in the day, evening, in a room in The Lodge or in private homes. If you are interested, please call Linda Mendelson, at (951) 941-9100 or email Goldtoy@earthlink.net and I will answer any questions you may have. As are all card games, it is played with both skill and luck. ~ Linda Mendelson Pan All are welcome. The game is played with a single card deck, no jokers, and 52 cards. We play three, four, or five at a table. No scheduling necessary. We play on Tuesdays at 6 pm in the Card Room next to the Library. A group has played here at Four Seasons for nine years. Seating is random draw, no partners, individual scores. It is easy to learn, harder to win. Players will teach. Games last approximately two hours. Lowest points win. If you have questions, call Mike Saperstein (951) 769-7909. ~ Mike Saperstein Hearts Phase 10 Rummikub Join us Sundays from 2 to 4 pm. Please try to show up by 1:45 pm as we always welcome help setting up. Have fun with new friends and old friends. Rummikub is played at a table with tiles and a holder for each player's tiles. Players begin with 14 tiles. Initially a player "goes down" putting out a group of at least three tiles totaling 30 points. If unable to play, then you must draw one tile from the remaining Rummikub tiles. Play ends when one person uses all their tiles. Remaining players then add the total numbers of their tiles for a score. Zero is the best score. If you like Rummy and Mah Jongg, then you would certainly like Rummikub. We play in The Lodge Card Room. We also will set up a learning table for newcomers. Hope to see you there. If you have any questions, call Mike Saperstein, (951) 769-7909. ~ Mike Saperstein Uptown Divas Bid Whist Group meets on the first and third Friday every month from 2 to 4 pm in the Game Room. ~ Deborah Garner, kenyakiki@aol.com Wow, have we seen our numbers grow in the past few months! Our January game days had all seven tables filled and we had two new players. Welcome, Lori and Maryanne. We hope you had fun and will play again. Our winners at each table were Michael Rothberg, Beverly Lunetta, Caryn McSweeney, Pam Morris, Kris Corbett, and Lynette. Congratulations to all players! Here are some honorable mentions: Robert Howard, for training the newbies; Patty Glas for being so nice; Mike Corbett, for getting the most skips (so many we had to change his name to Skipper — but that just tells you how good he was playing!); Dianne Rothberg, for getting almost 1,000 points; Kris Corbett for bringing the sweet treats; and, me — for well, just because I can. We meet every second Monday at 4 pm and every third Saturday at 3 pm in The Lodge Game Room. For more information, contact Cheri Howard at (951) 756-1216. ~ Cheri Howard
