Join us for an afternoon of friendship and fun while playing a game of Hand and Foot Canasta. We meet Thursdays in the RCN Main Room 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 FOUR SEASONS BREEZE | MAY 2020 53 Three Thirteen The waiting game may be difficult but Three Thirteen is not. It can be played with only two people and I'm confident even a virtual game over FaceTime or Zoom could be managed. The rules of the game are simple. The game is played in 11 rounds, from threes to Kings. Players meld, using sets and runs of at least three cards. Starting with round one, each player gets three cards and threes and jokers are wild. With each subsequent round, one more card is added. So in round two, each player receives four cards and the fours and jokers are wild. Round three, five cards and fives and jokers are wild. This repeats through round 11 in which players receive 13 cards and Kings and jokers are wild. Aces are low and never played as a high card. In each round, the player to first lay all cards down (and a discard) receives no points. The remaining players then lay down their cards — either on the first player's cards or with their own runs and/or sets. Any cards left in a player's hand are then counted. Aces are one point, threes to nines are face value, and 10s and face cards are 10 points each. The player with the least amount of points wins the game. Hopefully you will give Three Thirteen a try, either at home or in the Game Room at 3 pm on the first and third Tuesday of this month. If the stay-at-home order is still in effect, we will wait. If you have any questions or want a score sheet emailed to you, contact Mike Corbett at micedcor1@gmail.com. ~ Mike Corbett Bunco We play every second and fourth Friday at 1 pm in the RCN Main Room.

For the month of March we did not have a domino champion due to the outbreak. The month of April looks pretty bleak and none of the groups or clubs are scheduled to open until April 30. That date might be extended so we just have to wait and see. On a happier note, before the coronavirus set in, the Domino Group held a celebration for our new domino table covers. The party was really nice everyone did there part to make it happen. Congratulations to all who helped and contributed to the celebration. This was the best party every held by the Domino Group, better than our Xmas party. There was plenty of food, smiles and beautifully decorated tables. Dominoes were not played in April. It will be wonderful when this virus stops and everyone and everything gets back to normal. Until then, everyone keep safe and stay at home! For more information, call Jesse at (951) 769-2035 or Reggie at (951) 743-3584. ~ Marvin Gaines Domino Group ladies ready to serve food Reggie Fuqua, President, showing new domino tablecloths Decorated party tables Just in case: Check with your club contact to confirm meeting place, date, and time.
