  • Card Playing

    From Mike Dippel@954:895/1 to All on Fri Jan 13 21:53:12 2023
    Lately, I gave up on playing cards. I used to play Euchre online and got discouraged
    because the game is determined by how good a hand you are dealt, not your skill level.

    But then I discovered a new game called 'The Five Crowns' which is an offshoot of Rummy.
    You still have to have books and runs, but it's a bit different. Has anyone else heard of this
    game?

    Not familiar with that one, but if you like board games I would
    recommend BGA - or boardgamearena.com
