FOUR SEASONS BREEZE | DECEMBER 2023 67 You are definitely missing out on the fun if you haven't checked out the Bunco group. We play every Friday from 1 to 3 pm. On the first and third Fridays, we play regular Bunco in the RCN. On the second, fourth, and fifth Fridays, we play Wacky Bunco in The Lodge Game Room. You never know what twists the Crazy Bunco Ladies have in store for you on these Fridays. We've even had birthday and holiday celebrations as well as luncheons at Morongo! So if you want to add some laughter and new friends to your life, join us on Friday afternoons. Plan on arriving around 12:45 pm because we start rolling those dice at 1 pm. Everyone is welcome (men included)! For more details, please contact one of the crazy Bunco ladies: Linda Supernaw at supernaw4@sbcglobal.net or Cheryl Diego at kinderbear@msn.com. ~ Cheryl Diego Join us for an afternoon of friendship and fun while playing a game of Hand and Foot Canasta. We meet on 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 to visit with existing 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, pamelamorales26@gmail.com Three Thirteen 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 receives no points. Then the remaining players lay down their cards, on either 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. We meet the first and third Tuesday of each month at 2 pm in The Lodge Game Room. Everyone is welcome to join us. If you have questions or want your name to be added to the group email list, contact Simone at simone@bissada.net. ~ Simone Bissada Hearts Bunco Pinochle for Fun Whether you are a new or an experienced player, we will help you enjoy the game. We meet in the RCN Room 1 every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 9 am to noon. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact either Karen Farmer at (951) 313-6149 or Floyd Reid at (951) 317-3127. ~ 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 to play Pan, 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, that is played with up to eight people at a table. It is played by both men and women, so all are welcome. The game is played during the day or in the evening in The Lodge or at a private home. If you are interested, please contact Linda Mendelson at (951) 941-9100 or email Goldtoy@earthlink.net, and I will answer any questions you may have. As with all card games, it is played with both skill and luck. ~ Linda Mendelson Pan We play Hearts every Tuesday at 6 pm in The Lodge Game Room. We welcome new players. If you don't know how to play, we'll be happy to teach you. Seating is done by random card draw. Try your luck at getting all the hearts plus the queen of spades. That takes 26 points off of your score, or if you choose, adds 26 points to all the other players at the table. The jack of diamonds takes 10 points off of your score. Lowest score wins. It is lots of fun and we look forward to seeing you on Tuesday evenings. ~ Lynette Smilac, smilac1954@gmail.com Canasta Rummikub Do you miss playing your favorite tile game, Rummikub? We sure miss seeing friends and making new ones while playing this fun, fast-paced game. We play in the Game Room at The Lodge on Mondays from 2 to 4 pm. We welcome pros and newcomers alike and are always happy to teach the game to anyone who is interested. So come out and meet your neighbors and have a great time. If you have any questions, I can be reached at retiredatlast@outlook.com. ~ Caryn McSweeney
