COVID-19 Break - Online 'Game of the Month' - Words with Friends 2

6/5/2020

On-line ‘Game of the Month’ – ‘Word with Friends 2’ One way some U3A Benalla members are keeping in touch with friends while social distancing is by playing ‘Word with Friends 2’, a form of online Scrabble. Just type ‘Words with Friends 2’ into your Apps search engine and follow the instructions. Hint! Begin by playing people suggested by the app, then progress to playing with family and friends!

Cards '500'

Cards '500' is a simple social game to play with groups of 4 players or more.

Playing cards is a fun way of enjoying other's company without physical exertion. Our U3A group of card players has many laughs and fun at our sessions with easy-to- understand rules.

Most of our players can remember playing the game years ago with family and friends before the advent of television. Players who are 'rusty' or have not played before will be taught how to play by others present.

We are a friendly and welcoming group where the focus is on having fun in a mildly competi-tive environment. There is no gambling or money involved.

The game is flexible and can be configured to accommodate any number of participants. This allows for flexibility if you cannot come along on a regular basis.
