Day 15 – A Hand You Could only Dream of…

Originally uploaded by deeleea

I’ve been a bit busy to come up with scintillating posts… I’ve an exam tomorrow… but there’s always enough room in the procrastination schedule for a 365 photo… and a bit of a quiz!!!

I’m off to play cards tonight… This hand would be enough for me to win the game first round…

So what’s the name of the game?

*UPDATE* The game is 500. T&E was probably closest as it shares some characteristics with Bridge. There’s more info about it here. It has quite a following in the Antipodes for some reason… everyone who did recognize it has some connection there!! If you get the chance and find a Kiwi or Aussie who knows how to play get a four together and give it a shot. It’s [ahem] Ace!!

(Oh, and the reason this hand is so good? Is that it is the highest cards from a hearts as trumps hand and I could bid 10 hearts and get 500 points all in one go… no one could beat it…)

    500!
    I love that game. I haven’t found anyone in France that knows it, and playing it only with my husband isn’t quite as fun ;)

    Outstanding Katia!! Well done…
    Of course there are few outside of NZ and Australia who would recognize it… as far as I know anyway!

    I was going to say that it’s only a great hand if you have hearts as trumps…

    Thanks – quite tricky, I would imagine – I once had a camera which had an infrared remote – useful when trying to include myself in a picture.

    Chas, it’s a the magic of self timer, tripod and sometimes a steady hand with a long reach!

    The cards one was a tripod self timer job. As were most. The cat and me on the floor, and the mirror shots are all long reach… hence the occasional bit of movement…

    Some form of rummy? Poker is the best card game you know…
