    Phase 10 – Wednesdays *Start date based on interest*

    Time: 1:00pm

    Location: Card Room

    Phase 10 is a rummy-type card game with a challenging and exciting twist!  The object of the game is to be the first player to complete 10 varied Phases, for example two sets of three, one run of seven, seven cards of one color and more.  The twist is that each Phase to be completed is specific for each hand dealt.  Those who complete the Phase advance to the next, but those that don’t must try again.

    Call Hilary if you are interested.  (860) 889-5960
