FOUR SEASONS BREEZE | FEBRUARY 2020 55 Bridge For Fun Many of us have just started playing bridge or picked it up again after many, many years since moving to Four Seasons. It is an interesting game that keeps us learning. Not only do we have a great time enjoying each other's company, we learn from each other as well. Most of us thought, "Okay… how difficult can a card game be?" Well it's amazing how 52 playing cards can create so many games. It is equally amazing how bridge can be so challenging and have so many conventions to learn (a bid that provides a signal of communication to your partner that is not what you said). So if we confused you with that come sit in and see if it is a card game you might like to learn. We meet in the Card Room in The Lodge at 12 pm sharp on Wednesday. For more info. call Verina Rector at (951) 769-1687. ~ Tom Halley Three Thirteen Three Thirteen is played in 11 rounds and players meld, using sets and runs of at least three cards. 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. Remembering what wild card is in play for a particular round is possibly the most difficult part of the game. The lowest score wins. 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 Feb. 4 and 18. If you have questions or want to receive email reminders, contact Mike at micedcor1@gmail.com. ~ Mike Corbett Duplicate Bridge For Fun There will be some changes to the Duplicate Bridge for Fun group in the new year, but they are not yet finalized. I will be sending emails to those on the mailing list later in the month with the new arrangements. As always, send an email to me if you're interested in discussion of duplicate bridge activity or would like to learn to improve your game, or are interested in duplicate bridge at Four Seasons at Beaumont. ~ Kirk Freyermuth, kafreyer@ frontier.com Dominoes Dean Delaney was the domino champion for November and, for awhile, it looked like he was also going to be the champ for December. But the "Domino Queen," Wondell Collins, put a stop to that. Wondell finished with 15 wins and just slipped pass Dean with his 14 game wins. Congratulations to both players. Hopefully, the "Queen" will keep the throne for a while in 2020. 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 out and join us… have some fun and make some new friends. If you are a little rusty and need to brush up and practice playing dominoes. Jesse Dimmer is usually available to help you with that on Wednesdays and Fridays from 5 to 6 pm on both days. For more information, call Jesse at (951) 769-2035 or Reggie at (951) 743-3584. ~ Marvin Gaines Rummikub Join us Sundays from 2 to 4 pm. Please try to show up by 1:45 pm as we welcome help setting up. Have fun with new and old friends. Rummikub is played at a table with tiles and a holder for each player's tiles. Players begin with 14 tiles. A player's first move is a group of at least three tiles totaling 30 points. 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 Game 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 Wondell Collins was the domino champion for December
