German Card Games: Skat and/or Schafkopf!
Friday Mar 12, 6:30 PM
If you miss the days when playing card games didn't involve pointing, clicking, dragging, and dropping, or if you are just tired of the same old games, then this is the group for you!
Recent trends are showing a return to the old traditional games as well as the traditional way of playing them, namely, sitting at a table with friends as opposed to sitting in front of a computer screen or using a Game Boy or similar device.
We will help you let go of the computer mouse and replace it with a low-tech, old-fashioned deck of playing cards! We can teach you a new game, or many new games, ranging from games popular in North America to games traditionally played in other countries, which we play using the same types of cards that are used in the respective country of origin! In other words, we do not Americanize foreign games, but play them as closely as possible to the way we would if we were to travel to a foreign country to play with the natives. We are simply, and without a doubt, one of the most unique Meetup groups you will ever find!

You'll get invited to our Meetups as soon as they're scheduled!
"Good idea... arrive late... and foodage nearby... How about Tom's Seafood? Keep wanting to check it out but just haven't..."
"Here's my prediction: I will arrive there late (yet again) and will show up with McDonald's food (not freshly purchased, but leftover from around lunchtime) and will do what I can so that Ann does not beat me. Hehehe. =P"
"I looked up Tom's seafood on line and there was a review from January that said it has closed. ??????"
"In case anyone is interested, the results were 1 - Werner 2 - Bill 3 - Kevin 4 - Jeannette Hang in there Jeannette, the cards will come next time! You played well with what you were dealt."
"FYI - already ran this idea by Gary - so it's okay if we all opt for it... and then Gary will just know to get there later or just linger around to pounce on unsuspecting Asians, dragging them to play cards.... or... okay, maybe not that, but som..."
"I propose going to Tom's Seafood Restauarant (just because I keep meaning to try it) for brunch, but closer to lunch first... let's say like 10:30-11:30ish and then hopping over to KoKo's for gaming (and dessert). Anyone else interested?"
