N.Y.G.A. meeting at Helen's. Claude & Wald there.
Played DIVIDE & CONQUER. Used 8 special cards with playing
& counting values as follows : - 3 (3), 4 (4), 5 (3), 6 (4), 12 (1), 16 (4), 18 (4), 20 (6).
Each player gets 4 cards. The first card is
played simultaneously. After this the winner of the trick leads
to the next. The high card wins unless the low card divides
equally into it. Score the sum of your counting values. Play
till 50 points. Also tried it without the simultaneous
first trick. The player dealt the highest sum of counting values
leads to first trick.
The combinations become rather repetitive. Probably another
2, or 4. cards would help.

Played L.O.A. Claude's version uses 12 pcs. each set up as follows shown.
