Games - Rules - Tips
~Ever wonder why~
~Ever wonder why~ the number "7" is used in so many games, the number dealt in card games and scrabble tiles handed out to each player and the number of days in our week? 7 is not really a perfect number, but it is a superstitious number. In almost every system there are frequent references to the number seven. The Pythagoreans called it the perfect number, 3 and 4, the triangle and the square, the perfect figures. There were seven ancient planets. The sun was the greatest planet of the ancient seven and next to the sun, the moon, changing every 7th day. The Arabians had 7 Holy Temples. King Solomon took seven years building the Temple. It was dedicated to the glory of God in the seventh month and the festival lasted seven days. There are seven liberal arts and sciences. 7 Brethren make a Lodge perfect and there are seven steps on the winding staircase. The number 7 is considered to be the “gamblers” lucky number. Gamblers are very superstitious and luck is important to their playing skills. The number seven is always used to represent things such as in certain dice games seven is the winning number; in the ancient world there were seven known ‘planetary’ bodies–the sun, moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Saturn and Jupiter; etc, etc. And the most important “7” is used in the bible in the Book of Revelation; there are 7churches, 7 spirits, 7 stars, 7 dooms, 7 seals, 7 spirits, 7 trumpets, 7 vials, 7 personages, and 7 new things. 7 symbolizes Spiritual Perfection. All of life revolves around this number. 7 is used over 700 times in the Bible. It is used 54 times in the Book of Revelation. And in the movies:· The seven dwarfs · The seven deadly sins · The seven orders of architecture · The seven seas · The Seven Sisters
Left, Center, Right GameHow to Play LCR, short for "Left, Center, Right", is a very simple game. Yet it has acquired many fans from all over the world. It is played with three dice and a handful of chips, but it can provide excitement equivalent to a horse race at any gathering without the necessity of going to the track or of cleaning up after the horses. Yet the fact is in L-C-R there is little strategy involved. Once a player sits in on a game, the outcome is left entirely to the three dice. How to Play Rules Probabilities “Game Time”
Why Play????? With your Social Butterflies Red Hat sisters! A new study published in the April 4, 2012 online issue of the Official Journal of American Academy of Neurology shows that mental fitness can best be achieved by playing “board games.” According to researchers being mentally active is important for the cognitive health especially as one advances into our Red Hat age. Board Game FavoritesSteam is a fun game to play if you love the "rails."
Steam is an updated version of Age of Steam, adding new twists to building your tracks and adding new enhancements to your trading and shipping deadlines. This is a cut-throat evening for the wanna be railroad tycoons in your family.
[To buy the game click on the photo] Ticket to RidePlayers:2-5
A popular new board game, Ticket to Ride is a railway-themed German style board game. Each player chooses different destination cards, thus creating their goal for the end of the game. Players attempt to connect their different destinations, collecting different cards as they go, which determine the value and longevity of each train "route". The game ends when a player exhausts all of their train pieces, although every player plays one turn afterward. The winner is determined by who has the most completed railway routes by the end. A very in depth game that is as much fun with two players as it is with the maximum of five. Click here to order Ticket to Ride from Amazon.com ScattergoriesScattergories is one of my favorites is a fast-paced word game that's a real crowd pleaser. Each player takes a category list with 12 categories--such as vegetable, state, president, things you throw away--and must write down the name of one item that fits into each category.
Sounds easy enough, but each item has to begin with a specific letter that is determined when the 20-sided die is rolled. For instance, you roll the letter "R." Your answer list for the above categories might look something like this: rutabaga, Rhode Island, Roosevelt, rubbish, etc. You have to think fast, because a round lasts only 3 minutes! Players score points for each unique answer. Scrabble -Monopoly-Life- Family Feud-Shoots & Ladders -Clue-????-Bring OneLet's play some fun BOARD games.

MalarkyThe game asks the questions that everyone wonders about from time to time.
After a question is read aloud, one player (unbeknownst to the others) reads the correct answer, while the other players present bluff answers--as convincingly as they can--and then each player votes for the answer they think is correct. Points are awarded when your bluff answer receives votes or if you vote for the correct answer. |
Bunko GameOnline Games Play FREE"Hearts" Card GameHearts is a "trick" taking game in which the object is to avoid winning "tricks" containing hearts; the queen of spades is even more to be avoided. The game first appeared at the end of the nineteenth century and is now popular in various forms in many countries.
How to play--Rules "Mexican Train" DominosThis is a really fun game played with dominos. Jump aboard and play with RRC their group game, played every 3rd Saturday of every month at Coco's in Huntington Beach
RULES Apples to ApplesA fun fast paced game.
How to play Each player is dealt seven "red apple" cards; on each card is printed a noun or noun phrase, or possibly a gerund. The judge (a chosen player) draws a "green apple" card on which is printed an adjective ("scary", "frivolous", "patriotic", etc.), and places it face-up on the table for everybody to see. Then each player (except the judge) chooses a card that they think is the best match for the green apple card, and places it face-down. The judge shuffles the red apple cards, reads them (often aloud), and decides which noun is the best match for the adjective. This decision is subjective; the official rules encourage the judge to pick the match that is "most creative, humorous or interesting". The player who submitted the chosen red apple card wins the round, and takes the green apple card to signify the win. All players then draw red cards until they have seven again, and the role of "judge" may pass to another person (generally going to the next player in line, though some rules have the round's winner becoming "judge"). Some editions of the game suggest discounting the last red-apple card played, to encourage players to place their cards down more quickly. The winner is the first player to accumulate a pre-designated number of green apple cards; the more players, the lower the total. Variations
1. Seven red cards. 2. The original boxed set contained:
4. As of 2005, the original set and its expansions have been retired and replaced by a Party Box with the combined contents of the basic set and its first two expansions, and Party Box Expansion 1set with the combined contents of the third and fourth expansions, and a Party Box Expansion 2, which contains new cards. |
BINGO
Queen Mum found these bingo
cards (shown to the left) from a rummage sale at a church while visiting QM's sister in upstate NY. They are much easier to use and less hazzle than using the dabbers. There is also a company on the Internet, US Bingo that sells slide cards made in the USA. The "Twilite Girls" play "Bingo" at the Roadhouse for schedule check out HERE Bingo Trivia: There are over 2 1/2 million gals that play Bingo. I wonder how many are Red Hat Ladies? Another fun way to play Bingo is with playing cards. This is called "Party Bingo" and Q Cathy of RRC told me about this fun game. One deck is used for every [4] players. Each player is dealt 13 cards. The called mixes her deck of cards and then calls out each card by the suit and number or face card. The object is to be the 1st player to run out of cards. Then yell Bingo! A fun and easy way to play without the hassle of dabbers or calling balls. The Ace is called as "#1" "RRC" plays "Party Bingo" check out their dates. |
