FRIDAY 22 FEBRUARY
George Washington--Born 1732 1963 53rd day - 312 days to come
At Claude's played a new card game of his
"THROW MARY TO THE WOLVES"
52 card deck- 4 players - deal 13 to each.
Play in tricks - high card takes trick - no trump.
Winner of one trick leads to next.
First player to be stuck with 4 diamonds has been
"thrown to the wolves."
[down arrow] All scoring cards taken in tricks are placed in front
of the player as soon as won (others discarded),
All cards in hi his scoring cards are passed to the player
on his left. The cards remaining in his hand are
shuffled and dealt out to the other players (they may
not divide equally).
After the player is "thrown to the wolves" the game con-
tinues until all the cards are played. If some
players have cards left while others don't the odd
cards go into the last complete trick - but they
don't count towards taking the trick.
Cards count as follows:-
Diamonds - 100 [right-facing curly bracket begins]
A, K, Q, J - 10
10 ----- 200 [right-facing curly bracket ends] Cards can score as each (i.e. 10 [diamond] is worth 300)
Game is 2500 points.
With 5 players player is "thrown" with 3 diamonds.
