  • For the More Advanced Card Player, Rummy Can Be Played in a Number of Different Ways with Rules to Suit Different Age Groups
    Rummy For the more advanced card player, Rummy can be played in a number of different ways with rules to suit different age groups. Kids can beat their mates and then challenge the grown-ups. Rummy is a card game in which you try to improve the hand that you’re originally dealt. You can do this whenever it’s your turn to play, either by drawing cards from a pile (or stock) or by picking up the card thrown away by your opponent and then discarding a card from your hand. You can play Rummy with two or more players (for six or more players, you need a second deck of cards). You’ll also need a paper and pencil for scoring. The objective of Rummy Your aim is to put (or meld) your cards into two types of combinations: Runs: Consecutive sequences of three or more cards of the same suit Sets (or Books): Three or four cards of the same rank. If you are using two decks, a set may include two identical cards of the same rank and suit. REMEMBER In most Rummy games, unlike the majority of other card games, aces can be high or low, but not both. So, runs involving the ace must take the form A-2-3 or A-K-Q but not K-A-2 The first person who manages to make his whole hand into combinations one way or another, with one card remaining to discard, wins the game. How to play Rummy Follow the rules and instructions below to understand how to play Rummy from start to finish: 1.

  • Aces High, and You Don’T Want to Set Your Game Before the Establishment Closed in the 1990S, Feel Free to Keep It Around, Perhaps Under New Own- Ership
    CHAPTER THREE: THE WORLD OF WILD CARDS be Wild Cards for you and your group without an opportunity to visit Aces High, and you don’t want to set your game before the establishment closed in the 1990s, feel free to keep it around, perhaps under new own- ership. You can even make story hooks out of such adjustments: Who is the new owner of Aces High and does he or she have an agenda beyond serving the world’s finest hors-d’oeuvres to the ace elite? Most of the places in this section are found in (or around) Manhattan. Jokertown and its important locales are described in their own section that follows. ACES HIGH Hiram Worchester’s fabulous restaurant Aces High occupied the entire 86th floor of the Empire State Building (the lower observation deck in an alternate New York). The restaurant opened in 1971 and closed in the mid-1990s. From the early 1970s through the 1980s Aces High was the most chic restaurant in town. The dining areas were terraced so customers could enjoy the magnifi- cent views of the city. The kitchen, storage lockers, freezer, rest rooms, service elevator, and offices were located in the middle of the floor. Musi- cians entertained Aces High patrons from a niche near the dining area. The floor was marble. The walls were covered with framed, mostly auto- graphed, photographs of celebrities of every conceivable sort, especially aces. There was a long curved bar in the main dining room and magnifi- cent art deco chandeliers hung from the spacious ceiling.

  • Ausstellung Im Strauhof, Augustinergasse 9, Zürich Wild Card 12 Hannes Schüpbach Und Stephen Watts Explosion Der Wörter 9
    Presseinformation, Mai 2021 Ausstellung im Strauhof, Augustinergasse 9, Zürich Wild Card 12 Hannes Schüpbach und Stephen Watts Explosion der Wörter 9. – 20. Juni 2021 Ein zentrales Thema des Schweizer Künstlers Hannes Schüpbach sind die Momente, aus denen Kunst entsteht. Für «Explosion der Wörter» hat er mit dem Londoner Dichter und Sprachaktivisten Stephen Watts zusammengearbeitet. Mit «Explosion der Wörter», einer «kinematographischen Fotoinstallation», die sich friesartig über 24 Meter ausdehnt und in die «Textexplosionen» aus Gedichten von Stephen Watts eingefügt sind, antwortet Hannes Schüpbach auf dessen gelebte Räume zwischen ausufernder Forschung über Dichtung, Tätigkeit als Übersetzer und dem Schreiben eigener, bestürzend unmittelbarer Texte. Stephen Watts (*1952) hat zahlreiche Gedichtbände, Anthologien und Übersetzungen publiziert. Seit 40 Jahren arbeitet er ausserdem an einer Bibliografie der weltweiten Dichtung des 20. und 21. Jahrhunderts in englischer Übersetzung. Gegen 1500 Buch- seiten der ersten Papierausgabe dieses Werks, das Schüpbach in drei mehrbändigen Exemplaren zur Ausstellung herausgibt, werden als Teil der raumumspannenden Installation direkt auf die Wände des Museum Strauhof aufgezogen, entsprechend einem Kosmos der Weltpoesie. Mit der riesigen imaginären Bibliothek rückt eine Vielfalt der Dichtung in den Blick, wie sie unter den Vorzeichen unterschiedlichster Kulturen, Umgebungen und historischer Vorgänge an Orten auf der ganzen Welt geschrieben und gesprochen wurde und wird. Als immenser «Sprachspeicher» erin- nert sie an die erneuernde Kraft des Austauschs, die im Übersetzen liegt. Mit seinen fotografischen Blicken, die als gerahmte Bilder in einem sprachähnlichen Auf und Ab rhythmisch über diesen Hintergrund hinweg laufen, präsentiert Hannes Schüpbach in «Explosion der Wörter» eine Vision von Lebensort und Dichtung, Dichtung und Welt, wie sie der nomadische Künstler und Gelehrte Stephen Watts exemplarisch und auf höchst eigenwillige Art und Weise verkörpert.
