FOUR SEASONS BREEZE | NOVEMBER 2024 67 Three Thirteen Three Thirteen is a fun and fast-paced card game, played in 11 rounds. A variation of Rummy, players meld 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 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. The lowest score wins. It is lots of fun and we look forward to seeing you on Tuesday evenings. Phase 10 We hope to see more fun-loving card players join us on Tuesday, Nov. 12 and Tuesday, Nov. 26 from 2 to 4 pm in The Lodge Game Room. The goal is to complete the 10 phases that are established for the game, one round at a time. These phases include 'sets' of cards (all the same number) and 'runs' (cards in a sequence). There are also wild cards and skip cards during play. If you have any questions, please contact Marianne Bugni at (920) 517-2739 or email lamarib77@gmail.com. ~ Marianne Bugni Mah Jongg Hello all! We are now playing Mah Jongg every Friday from 1 to 3 pm in the RCN Main Room. I hope you can join us. The great part is that you do not have to commit to every Friday. If you are interested in learning this game, we arrange periodic lessons and have a table designated for new players. If you have any questions or would like to arrange an introductory lesson, contact Terry Hall at Terryhall005@gmail.com. ~ Terry Hall
