62 FOUR SEASONS BREEZE | DECEMBER 2019 Three Thirteen Dominoes When I received the information about the domino champion for the month of October I was shocked and in disbelief. Reggie Fuqua, president of the Dominoes Group, was the champ, winning with 20 games. The last time that he was champ was when the Lakers won the NBA Finals and that has been a long time. Congratulations to Reggie for his long overdue big win! Winning the championship is not an easy task with all of the great domino players who we have in the group. Dominoes are played Wednesdays and Fridays from 5 to 9 pm in The Lodge Game Room. Practice is from 5 to 6 pm on both days. Come on out and join us… have some fun and make some new friends. Jesse Dimmer is usually available to give you help and tips on the game of dominoes, if needed. Also, the playoffs for the personalized domino trophy will take place in the first week of December. I wish everyone out there in the Domino Group and Four Seasons Beaumont a very happy holiday season. ~ Marvin Gaines Looks like Christmas came early for one Three Thirteen regular who scored only 25 points — yes, that's after 11 rounds! That's nearly unheard of as most of us can easily get that in one hand. Congratulations to Beverly Lunetta for possibly being the lowest scoring player this year. Following in a close second was Brenda Brazeal with a 36 and that's an excellent score, too. Caryn McSweeney tapped out at 45 during this same scoring session and Jerry Monahan followed with a 48. Other low scores belonged to Linda Egle with a 50; Sue Barker and Andy Lunetta both with 53; Kathy Craven, 58; and Barbara Dipoma with 66. Three Thirteen is an easy and fast-paced Rummy spin-off. The game is played in 11 rounds and players meld, using sets and runs. The player to lay all cards down first receives no points. The remaining players then lay down their cards, either on the first player's cards or their own. Each round uses a progressive wild card, from 3s to Kings. The lowest score wins. Remembering what wild card is in play for a particular round is the most difficult part of the game. And that's only for some of us! Everyone is welcome and we always have a learner's table, if needed. We play at The Lodge Game Room from 3 to 5 pm on the first and third Tuesdays of the month. This month that will be Dec. 3 and Dec. 17. If you have questions or want to receive email reminders, contact Mike at micedcor1@gmail.com. ~ Mike Corbett Reggie Fuqua, October domino champion Linda Egle, Any Lunetta, Kathy Craven, Caryn McSweeney, Barbara Dipoma all had low scores in Three Thirteen recently Sue Barker, Jerry Monahan, and Beverly Lunetta are among the lowest-scoring players in Three Thirteen
