A Full Deck of Blank Face Cards. Can You Imagine What Want to learn some new magic? Want to buy some new magic? Victor Cohn, a long time member and good friend to Ring 96 has left his magic collection for us to sell. The money brought in from these sales will be split in half between Ring 96 and a kids Summer Camp that Victor liked to support. The share that Ring 96 keeps will help offset our monetary reserve which is dwindling since we are not taking in the cash flow from the raffle that we usually do. So, anything you purchase here will help support your club. To make a purchase, e-mail Ring Secretary Cliff Gerstman at [email protected] The “winner” of the item will be either the first one to make the request or, if you really love Ring 96, the highest bidder. Most if not all of these items, and those to be posted in the future, are too big, or too heavy or too expensive to mail, so we will have to meet either at my house in Long Beach, or at an agreed upon location. I will be wearing a mask, please do the same. Payment options: Prefer checks made out to “Ring 96.” If that does not work for you, we can talk.

  • BLACKJACK It’S Easy to Ace the Game of Blackjack, One of the Most Popular Table Games at Hollywood Casino and Around the World
    BLACKJACK It’s easy to ace the game of Blackjack, one of the most popular table games at Hollywood Casino and around the world. Object of the Game Your goal is to draw cards that total 21, or come closer to 21 than the dealer without going over. How To Play • The dealer and each player start with two cards. The dealer’s first card faces up, the second faces down. Face cards each count as 10, Aces count as 1 or 11, all others count at face value. An Ace with any 10, Jack, Queen, or King is a “Blackjack.” • If you have a Blackjack, the dealer pays you one-and-a-half times your bet — unless the dealer also has a Blackjack, in which case it’s a “push” and neither wins. • If you don’t have Blackjack, you can ask the dealer to “hit” you by using a scratching motion with your fingers on the table. • You may draw as many cards as you like (one at a time), but if you go over 21, you “bust” and lose. If you do not want to “hit,” you may “stand” by making a side-to-side waving motion with you hand. • After all players are satisfied with their hands the dealer will turn his or her down card face up and stand or draw as necessary. The dealer stands on 17 or higher. BLACKJACK Payoff Schedule All winning bets are paid even money (1 to 1), except for Blackjack, which pays you one-and-a-half times your bet or 3 to 2.

  • Tactical and Strategic Game Play in Doppelkopf 1
    TACTICAL AND STRATEGIC GAME PLAY IN DOPPELKOPF DANIEL TEMPLETON 1. Abstract The German card game of Doppelkopf is a complex game that in- volves both individual and team play and requires use of strategic and tactical reasoning, making it a challenging target for a com- puter solver. Building on previous work done with other related games, this paper is a survey of the viability of building a capable and efficient game solver for the game of Doppelkopf. 2. Introduction Throughout human history, games have served an important role, allowing real life prob- lems to be abstracted into a simplified environment where they can be explored and un- derstood. Today, games continue to serve that role and are useful in a variety of fields of research and study, including machine learning and artificial intelligence. By researching ways to enable computers to solve the abstracted, stylized problems represented by games, researchers are creating solutions that can be applied directly to real world problems. 2.1. Doppelkopf. Doppelkopf is a game in the same family as Schafkopf and Skat played mostly in northern areas of Germany. The rules are officially defined by the Deutscher Doppelkopf Verband [1], but optional rules and local variants abound. The game is played with a pinochle deck, which includes two each of the nines, tens, jacks, queens, kings, and aces of all four suits, for a total of 48 cards. As in many games, like Skat, Schafkopf, Spades, Bridge, etc., the general goal is to win points by taking tricks, with each trick going to the highest card, trump or non-trump, played.

  • Learning the Tarot (19 Lesson C
    Welcome to Learning the Tarot - my course on how to read the tarot cards. The tarot is a deck of 78 picture cards that has been used for centuries to reveal hidden truths. In the past few years, interest in the tarot has grown tremendously. More and more people are seeking ways to blend inner and outer realities so they can live their lives more creatively. They have discovered in the tarot a powerful tool for personal growth and insight. How Does This Course Work? My main purpose in this course is to show you how to use the cards for yourself. The tarot can help you understand yourself better and teach you how to tap your inner resources more confidently. You do not have to have "psychic powers" to use the tarot successfully. All you need is the willingness to honor and develop your natural intuition. Learning the Tarot is a self-paced series of 19 lessons that begin with the basics and then move gradually into more detailed aspects of the tarot. These lessons are geared toward beginners, but experienced tarot users will find some useful ideas and techniques as well. For each lesson there are some exercises that reinforce the ideas presented. The Cards section contains information about each of the tarot cards. You can refer to this section as you go through the lessons and later as you continue your practice. These are the main features of the course, but there are many other pages to explore here as well. What is the History of this Course? I began writing this course in 1989.

  • Minor Suit Openings
    Minor Suit Openings Opening the Bidding Suppose you have a good enough hand to open the bidding. Opening bids of 1NT and 1 of a major are very descriptive and give us a good start in the auction, so if you can open 1NT or 1 of a major, you should certainly do that. If you do not have a balanced hand with 15-17 HCP, and you do not have a 5-card major, then you will have to open 1 of a minor. (Sometimes it is correct to open above the 1 level, but these bids have not been covered in class yet, so I will ignore them for now. Also, there is one situation in which you can open 1 of a minor despite having a 5 card major; if you have a longer minor { i.e. 5 spades and 6 diamonds { then you should start with the minor.) But in short, with an opening hand, you should open 1 of a minor if and only if 1NT and 1 of a major are not options. How do you know whether to open 1| or 1}? When we were discussing major suit openings, this was an easy decision: opening 1 of a major promises 5 cards in that major, and you probably don't have two 5 card majors. (If you do have two 5 card majors, you should open 1♠ . As a general rule, whenever you have two 5 card suits, you bid the higher ranking one first. This will allow you to safely bid the lower-ranking suit twice.

  • Doppelkopf for Children the Background Story
    DOUBLEHEAD KIDS - Doppelkopf for children Prototype Rules V1.0 The Background Story King Frederick II invites you to a special tournament at his castle "Sans Soucis" ("without worries"). From there he has already made many positive and peaceful changes for his people. He is also no longer in the mood for the sword- wielding lance-breaking brutal tournament games, where people and horses are sent against each other. He invites you to compete in a special duel with the other knights: a "Doppelkopf" tournament in which brains, team spirit and game tactics decide the winner of the tournament. DOUBLEHEAD KIDS - The Tournament Card Game DOUBLEHEAD is a card game for four (or more persons), which depicts the "Doppelkopf" normal game with cards suitable for children. The game is suitable for players from about 6 years (the numbers from 1 to 20 must be read and recognized independently) and lasts about 30-45 minutes or 60-90 minutes, depending on the chosen winning score. The "Doppelkopf"-Game is one of the most popular German card games, which finds more and more enthusiastic fans and © Jörg Trojan, Germany 1 supporters, who organize themselves in clubs and even in a German umbrella organization (DDV). Doppelkopf even manages to replace the extremely popular game Skat as the favourite card game of the Germans. Doppelkopf probably originated from the game "Schafkopf", which already had a set of rules since 1895. Doppelkopf got its name from the fact that all cards in the game are doubled. DOUBLEHEAD for 4 players consists of 48 playing cards. The playing cards have differently displayed strengths (shield symbol at the top right), which determine the ranking of the card and silver winning coins, which represent the winning value of a card.

Admit it—you’re curious. Who isn’t? Everyone wants to know about the future! Hindsight might give you 20/20 vision for understanding what’s happened in the past, but what (or who) helps you figure out what’s coming up in the future? When you think of fortune-tellers, do you picture Whoopi Goldberg in the movie Ghost, channeling spirits with a crystal ball? How about the Wizard of Oz (the mighty Oz sees all, knows all!), dispensing magical powers to eager applicants who’ve proven themselves worthy? Is it even possible to “predict” or “tell” someone what his or her future will be? Remember a little thing called Free Will? We do. (We know some skeptics are among us.) So right now you’re curious about the Tarot. What, exactly, do Ta r ot cards have to say about the future—most particularly, about yours?

  • Three Universal Truths and Four Aces
    Three Universal Truths and Four Aces Imagine examining, over seven years, the best research from the fields of psychology, education, sociology, recreation, criminology, social work and medicine then synthesizing all the knowledge into three Universal Truths which, if adopted, could support the success of all children without exception. These overall findings lead to Kids at Hope, an evidenced based, strategic-cultural model which reverses the “youth at risk” paradigm by establishing a culture that engages an entire school, youth organization and/or community. Three Universal Truths: • Children succeed when they are surrounded by adults who believe they can succeed no exCeptions. • Children succeed when they have meaningful and sustainable relationships with caring adults. • Children succeed when they can articulate their future in four domains: Home and Family; Education and Career; Community and service; and Hobbies and Recreation. Four Aces: Every adult holds these four aces. Your ace of heart belongs to your own children. Give it to them each and every day that you are privileged to have them in your home. But your ace of clubs, spades and diamonds can be given to every child you know and meet if only you will take the time to deal them out. You will discover that your aces are magical, for the more times you give them away, the more times they will reappear in your hand to re-deal again the next day to another child who just needs to know that the world cares. Kids at Hope hopes that you will come recognize powerful aces you hold in your hand and that you will give them to the children in your world with love an belief in their tomorrow.
