Our group has been exposed on a trial basis to two other card games. Klaverjas is a Dutch card game suggested by Hans, one of our members. The other game is Five Crowns introduced by myself. The latter is more well known of the two and is regularly played by members of the Senior Citizens Group some of whom also attend our card group.
Over the month of July both these games were trialled amongst our group. The feedback generally was “thanks but no thanks”
.
The consensus was people wanted to keep exclusively playing Five Hundred at our fortnightly sessions. Introducing something new into an established routine is always difficult but the masses have spoken. Five Hundred (only) stays on the menu.
Keep shuffling
