    Tricky Dice A game design by Andy Miner using Square Shooters Poker Dice Players: 4 Playing Time: about an hour Required Components: Standard deck of 52 playing cards (no jokers) One complete set of nine Square Shooters poker dice Bag/pouch to hold dice Pen and paper for scoring Order of Play 1. Before the Bid One player is chosen to be dealer. The dealer deals eight cards to every player. He then places all dice in the bag and passes it to his left. Each player in turn draws two dice from the bag and rolls them, placing them face up in front of him. After rolling his two dice, the dealer draws the last remaining dice from the bag and rolls it. The face-up side of this die will show the trump suit and highest card value for this hand. Note: If a player rolls a joker on his dice, he may turn the die to any other side that he wishes, after looking at his cards. However, it cannot be changed after that. Note: If the dealer rolls a joker space on the trump die, he may look at his cards and turn the die to one of the other five sides (his choosing) to determine the trump suit and high card for the hand. 2. The Bid Starting to the dealer’s left, each player may bid (or pass) on how many tricks they think they can take this hand with the help of a partner. The player on the dealer’s left must start with the minimum bid of four tricks, but may start higher.

  • SWISS JASS Rules

    SWISS JASS Rules

    SWISS JASS Rules Introduction to the basics Many of the popular play card games in Switzerland, especially in the German speaking cantons, belong to the JASS group, and are played with characteristic Swiss cards, which are known as JASS KARTEN (JASS CARDS). JASS has become so popular in Switzerland that even games which got nothing to do with the JASS group, are sometimes described as kinds of JASS, and the verb “jassen” has come to mean “playing any card game with the Swiss play cards”. Swiss JASS games have a number of basic features in common that will be described on this page to define and clarify their application. These features are: - The rank and values of the cards - The trick-taking rules. The rank and values of the cards A standard JASS pack has 36 cards, containing 4 different “suits” (Schellen, Schilten, Eicheln, Rosen) of 9 cards each. In the non-German speaking cantons, a French suited pack - Coeur (Hearts),Carreau (Diamonds),Pique (Clubs) and Trèfle (Spades ) is used instead of the Swiss suited one, being the cards in each suit : As (Ace), Roi (King), Dame (Queen) , Valet (Jack), Dix (Ten), Neuf (Nine), Huit (Eight), Sept (Seven), and Six (Six). Hearts and diamonds are the red-colored suits, whereas the clubs and spades are black. JASS games are point-trick games. In the simplest version of the game, played without “trumpf”, the rank of the cards in each suit, from highest to lowest, and their values in card points, are as follows: Deutsch (German) English Français (French) Points Ass Ace As 11 König King Roi 4 Ober/Dame Queen Dame 3 Under/Bube Jack Valet 2 Banner/ Zehner Ten Dix 10 Neuner Nine Neuf 0 Achter Eight Huit 0 Siebener Seven Sept 0 Sechser Six Six 0 In addition, whoever wins the last “trick”, gets an extra 5 card points.

For many years he has been planning to assemble an in-depth study of all known card play techniques and their classification. The only thing he lacked was time for the project; now, having recently retired, he has accom- plished his ambitious task. It has been my privilege to follow its progress and watch the book take shape. A book such as this should not to be put into a beginner’s hands, but it should become a well-thumbed reference source for all players who want to improve their game.

    MacKenzieCOLORADO SPRINGS Place SEPTEMBER 2018 • FALL INTO FUN Memory Care Garden Party We love having our Annual Memory Care Garden Party, as it’s a wonderful time for us to show the rest of our community and families what our Memory Care is all about. We also love showing off the garden that is loved and tendered by our Garden Club. Thank you to everyone who stopped by and made this such a great success for us. Old-Time Jobs That Are New Again Despite economic changes and advances in technology, many traditional jobs that began decades or centuries ago are seeing a boost in business. Butcher: Before supermarkets were common, neighborhood butchers prepared fresh cuts of meat for customers. With many of today’s consumers desiring locally sourced food, butcher shops are making a comeback. Blacksmith: The ancient practice of forging objects from iron nearly faded away when machines began doing the work, but a trend in handcrafted metalwork has revived the trade. Milkman: Many homes had fresh bottles of milk delivered to their door until grocery stores and refrigerators made the service nearly obsolete by the 1970s. The current farm-to-table movement has some farms offering home delivery of their milk and dairy products. Cobbler: Shoemakers have been August Birthday Bash! making footwear by hand for Happy Birthday to all of our MacKenzie Place Residents with a birthday in August! centuries, and specialty shops still cater to customers who want handmade goods or prefer to repair rather than replace a pair of shoes. Barber: In years past, barbers provided a haircut and a shave as well as a shop where men could socialize.
