The book <u>SKARNEY</u> came. Actually it is a <u>CANASTA</u>  <br>
variation.
Thinking of the possibility of using <u>SKILL BACKGAMMON</u> in  <br>
yhe book. This played by using dominoes to determine  <br>
the move, instead of dice. The b;lanks are removed from  <br>
a double 6 set and the remaining 21 dominoes are placed  <br>
in 3 columns of 7 each. Players in turn can play the top (which  <br>
is designated) of a column. The played domino is placed at  <br>
the bottom of the columns, starting with the one on the left,  <br>
then the next, etc, so that the bottom grow uniformly  <br>
regardless of how the tops are playued.
