FOUR SEASONS BREEZE | AUGUST 2021 71 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. Join us. ~ Pam Morales Three Thirteen 20,000 Canasta The laughter, fun, and camaraderie have returned! We had a great turnout at our first session of the year with lots of catching up on everyone's experiences this past year while trying to keep track of what wild card was in play for a particular round. Most of us did better at catching up as evidenced by the high scores that won at some tables. Jerry Monahan didn't skip a beat with his usual low scores and won both his games with a 33 and 38. Word is he and Frances played every day during the pandemic so they obviously kept their skills up as Frances won the first game with a 112 and Beverly Lunetta won the second with an 86. Linda Roberts took the first game with an 84 while Patty Spinosa smashed the second game with a 123 (yes, that was the winning score). Kris Corbett and Sue Barker split their wins with a 44 and 86, respectively. Other scores ranged from 140 to 200 — newsworthy only because the lower the score the better. No names will be given up for those tables, though. It just wouldn't be right. They received enough "you scored what again?" and eye rolls to last until next time. All kidding aside, we look forward to getting back to playing regularly on the first and third Tuesdays of the month at 3 pm in The Lodge Game Room. Three-Thirteen is a fun and fast-paced card game, played in 11 rounds. A variation of rummy, players meld, using runs and sets of at least three cards. The first 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, new wild card, from 3 to Kings. The lowest score wins. Not a lot of rules to remember and it's quick and easy to learn. Everyone is welcome and we will always have a learner's table, if needed.
