Our Cards '500' group continues to attract a healthy number of players even in this cold and unwelcoming Benalla winter.
I am proposing to introduce some card game options to our regular five hundred sessions. Some of you will have heard of the card game Five Crowns. It is a five suited card game, played individually with up to 7 players. It is a little more strategic than five hundred, but very enjoyable.
In addition, Hans Bruitzman, a regular in our group, has a traditional Dutch card game called Klaverjas which I have agreed, at his request, to trial with our group. Klaverjas or Klaverjassen is a Dutch four-player trick-taking card game that uses a Piquet pack of 32 playing cards. It is closely related to the game of Klaberjass and is one of the most popular card games in the Netherlands, traditionally played in cafes and social clubs. We will trial the above new games at our July meeting. If you don’t want to do this there will still be five hundred available on both Wednesdays.
Keep shuffling
