| LIFE IN SOLERA | APRIL 2024 | 45 The Poker Club would like to invite you to come talk to me about the club and how it works! My name is Earl Scott and you can reach me at (909) 633-4867. TUESDAY NIGHT POKER BINGO SOCIAL CLUB Our club meets twice a month on the first and third Thursdays. Doors open at 5 pm and Bingo begins at 6 pm. For further information, contact Mary Anne Roadick (909) 239-6698. We think you'll enjoy playing Rummikub. It's a tile game that's easy to learn, fast moving and different every time it's played so it keeps you thinking and is never boring. Players take turns placing numbered tiles on the table in two kinds of sets: groups/ books (three or four of the same number in different colors); and runs (three or more consecutive numbers of the same color). Each tile is worth its face value (the number shown on the tile). To add to the fun there are two jokers which may be used in place of any color and number tile. In order to make an initial meld, each player must place tiles on the table in one or more sets that total at least 30 points. These points must come only from the tiles on each player's rack; for their initial meld, players may not use tiles already played on the table. A joker used in the initial meld scores the value of the tile it represents. When players cannot play any tiles from their racks, they must draw a tile from the pool and their turn is over. Play then passes to the person on their left. The table changes all the time as players add and move tiles during their turn. It combines luck and strategy so every player has a chance to win until the very end when a player plays all the tiles on their rack. We play each Monday afternoon from 2 to 4 pm in the Oakmont Room. We welcome both newcomers and experienced players to our group. Each game takes about 15 to 20 minutes and several tables are set up so you can play with two to four people depending on how you prefer to play. If you have any questions, please call Carole Stone at (951) 385-3450. RUMMIKUB
