    • • SPOONEYE! First dpcumented as "Thirt y-Fours" in a 1571 British list of injunctions, the modern form of the game developed aboard pirate ships sailing in rhe Caribbean in the late 17th centuty. The game's most nOlOrious enthusiast was none other than the rllthless pirate Spooneye, who had a spoon in the place of a lost hand due to a fo ndness for soups, :iIld who, owing to ext reme myopia in one eye (the right, it is believed), would often cover the bad eye with his spoon-hand in order to focus. During the infamous double mutiny fad of the 1690s, (itself immortalized in the gaIlle, as weI! as numernus ballads,) Spooneye learned of Thirty­ Fours from the crew fo rmerly belonging to his mortal enemy, the nefarious Danish privateer Weirdbeard. Legend has it that the most powerful card in the game, the Nine, or 'Spooneye', originated when Spooneye was engaged in a �ame with his ship's new cook (name unknown). Fnlstrated at his own poor performance, Spoon eye played a Nine-his favorite card, due to the rcsemulance-and then grabbed one of the cook's cards and placed it on his side of the table. Justifiably angty, the cook argued that rhis was not part of the rules: in rhe origi nal Thirty-fours, Nines grant no special privilege. Spooneye, in response, leaped out of his chair and gouged out the unfortunate cook's left eye with his mighty spoon-hand. Most accounts suggesr thar the cook was keelhauled after the game; some (possibly apoctyphal) accounts suggest that it was this cook who later became the despised buccaneer Disheye.

    A Sampling of Card Games Todd W. Neller Introduction • Classifications of Card Games • A small, diverse, simple sample of card games using the standard (“French”) 52-card deck: – Trick-Taking: Oh Hell! – Shedding: President – Collecting: Gin Rummy – Patience/Solitaire: Double Freecell Card Game Classifications • Classification of card games is difficult, but grouping by objective/mechanism clarifies similarities and differences. • Best references: – http://www.pagat.com/ by John McLeod (1800+ games) – “The Penguin Book of Card Games” by David Parlett (250+) Parlett’s Classification • Trick-Taking (or Trick-Avoiding) Games: – Plain-Trick Games: aim for maximum tricks or ≥/= bid tricks • E.g. Bridge, Whist, Solo Whist, Euchre, Hearts*, Piquet – Point-Trick Games: aim for maximum points from cards in won tricks • E.g. Pitch, Skat, Pinochle, Klabberjass, Tarot games *While hearts is more properly a point-trick game, many in its family have plain-trick scoring elements. Piquet is another fusion of scoring involving both tricks and cards. Parlett’s Classification (cont.) • Card-Taking Games – Catch-and-collect Games (e.g. GOPS), Fishing Games (e.g. Scopa) • Adding-Up Games (e.g. Cribbage) • Shedding Games – First-one-out wins (Stops (e.g. Newmarket), Eights (e.g. Crazy 8’s, Uno), Eleusis, Climbing (e.g. President), last-one-in loses (e.g. Durak) • Collecting Games – Forming sets (“melds”) for discarding/going out (e.g. Gin Rummy) or for scoring (e.g. Canasta) • Ordering Games, i.e. Competitive Patience/Solitaire – e.g. Racing Demon (a.k.a.

  • Durak: a Russian Card Game
    Rachel Wellhausen 21 January 2004 Econ 431: Problem Set #1 Durak: A Russian Card Game Durak is a traditional Russian card game for two players.1 The first player to get rid of all of her cards wins. Each player tries to accomplish this goal in game rounds that consist of a series of attacks and defenses. The loser, who has cards remaining when the other player runs out, earns the title of durak, Russian for “fool.” The game uses only the following 24 cards from a standard 52-card deck: the 9, 10, J, Q, K, and A of all four suits (diamonds, hearts, spades, clubs). One player shuffles these cards, deals five cards (face down) to each player, and places the remaining, unused cards (face down) in a pile next to the game space. This pile of cards is called the “talon.” The dealer turns over the top card from the talon and places it underneath and perpendicular to the talon so that the card’s suit is visible. This card is out of play and not used in the game; its only purpose is to determine the “trump” or dominant suit for the game (e.g., if the card is the 9 of hearts, the trump suit will be hearts and the card’s rank of 9 is completely irrelevant to game play). Each player picks up and looks at her own five cards, termed her “hand.” Play begins with the dealer as initial defender and the other player as attacker in the first round of the game.

  • Summary of Major Us Export
    ______________________________________________________________________________ June 2016 NSD WWW.JUSTICE.GOV (202) 514-2007 SUMMARY OF MAJOR U.S. EXPORT ENFORCEMENT, ECONOMIC ESPIONAGE, TRADE SECRET AND EMBARGO-RELATED CRIMINAL CASES (January 2010 to the present: updated June 27, 2016) Below is a brief description of some of the major export enforcement, economic espionage, theft of trade secrets, and embargo-related criminal prosecutions by the Justice Department since January 2010. These cases resulted from investigations by the Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) [formerly Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)], the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the Department of Commerce's Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS), the Pentagon's Defense Criminal Investigative Service (DCIS), and other law enforcement agencies. This list of cases is not exhaustive and only represents select cases. Firearm Parts to the Republic of Turkey – On June 24, 2016, the Court in the Eastern District of Virginia issued Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law finding Hamza Kolsuz, a citizen of the Republic of Turkey, guilty of all three counts in the indictment pending against him. The Court’s ruling followed a two-day bench trial on May 18-19, 2016. On March 2, 2016, after having previously been charged in a Criminal Complaint, a grand jury in the Eastern District of Virginia returned a three-count indictment against Kolsuz, charging him with: (1) conspiring to violate the Arms Export Control Act (the “AECA”) and 18 U.S.C. § 554(a), in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 371; (2) attempting to export defense articles on the United States Munitions List (“USML”) without a license or other written authorization from the United States Department of State’s Directorate of Defense Trade Controls (the “DDTC”), in violation of the AECA; and (3) attempting to smuggle goods out of the United States, in violation of 18 U.S.C.
