FOUR SEASONS BREEZE | JUNE 2018 39 Pinochle for Fun Uptown Divas Bid Whist Join us! Whether you are a seasoned player or new to the game, we welcome you. Pinochle is an exciting card game where you bid and bluff to name trump and take control of the game. This stimulating game is a time-honored favorite. Winning is not just the luck of the draw; it is a thinking game which teases the mind and keeps it sharp. We play with a Pinochle double deck of cards, Ace through 10s. We meet at the Summit Mondays and Wednesdays from 10 am to 12:30 pm. Our Chair is Karen Farmer. ~ Karen Farmer All are welcome. The game is played with a single card deck, no jokers, and 52 cards. We play three, four, or five at a table. No scheduling necessary. We play on Tuesdays at 6 pm in the Card Room next to the Library. A group has played here at Four Seasons for nine years. Seating is random draw, no partners, individual scores. It is easy to learn, harder to win. Players will teach. Games last approximately two hours. Lowest points win. If you have questions, call Mike Saperstein (951) 769-7909. ~ Mike Saperstein Hearts We play the second Monday and the third Saturday of the month. Every week we have a training table and we welcome everyone. We start at 4 pm on Mondays and 3 pm on Saturdays. This is fun and we are friendly so come on down and check us out. Contact: Cheri Howard (951) 756-1216 or howards1249@gmail.com. ~ Cheri Howard Phase 10 Bridge for Fun Many of us just started playing bridge or picked it up again after many, many years. It's an interesting game that keeps us learning. Not only do we have a great time enjoying each other's company, we learn from each other as well. Most of us thought, "How difficult can a card game be?" Well it's not only amazing how 52 playing cards can create so many games, it is equally amazing how bridge can be so challenging and have so many conventions to learn. (A bid that provides a signal of communication to your partner that is not what you said.) So if we confused you with that, come sit in and see if it is a card game you might like to learn. Bill Guy will teach new players. We meet in the Card Room in the Lodge at 12 pm sharp on Monday and Wednesday. Monday info., Bill Guy (951) 845-5627. Wednesday info., Verina Rector (951) 769-1687. ~ Tom Halley Rummikub Join us Sundays from 2 to 4 pm. Please try to show up by 1:45 pm as we always welcome help setting up. Have fun with new friends and old friends. Rummikub is played at a table with tiles and a holder for each player's tiles. Players begin with 14 tiles. Initially a player "goes down" putting out a group of at least three tiles totaling 30 points. If unable to play, then you must draw one tile from the remaining Rummikub tiles. Play ends when one person uses all their tiles. Remaining players then add the total numbers of their tiles for a score. Zero is the best score. If you like Rummy and mah jongg, then you would certainly like Rummikub. We play in the Lodge Card Room. We also will set up a learning table for newcomers. Hope to see you there. If you have any questions, call Mike Saperstein, (951) 769-7909. ~ Mike Saperstein Dominoes Robert Steen was the domino champ for the month of April, winning with 26 game wins. In the short time that Robert has been in the domino group he has shown everyone that he knows how to play some "BONES." This is the second time this year that Robert Steen has been domino champ. Robert was also the champ in January. Congratulations and keep up the great playing. Dominoes are played every Wednesday and Friday from 5 to 9 pm in the Lodge Game Room. Come out and join us and have some fun. If you do not know how to play the game, or have trouble remembering how to play, that is okay. Practice is from 5 to 6 pm on both days. Jesse Dimmer will help you in learning the game or help to refresh your memory about dominoes. For more information, call Jesse at (951)769-2035 or Reggie at (951) 769-6483. ~ Marvin Gaines Uptown Divas Bid Whist Group meets on the first and third Friday every month from 2 to 4 pm in the Game Room. ~ Deborah Garner April's Domino Champion Robert Steen
