Card Games

Card Games At the Dublin Senior Center

Hand, Knee & Foot: Mondays at 12:00 pm and, Starting January 2nd, Thursdays at 12:30pm

(experienced players only on Thursdays please)

Hand, Knee, and Foot, also known as Triple Play, is a variation on Canasta for four players in partnerships. Like Hand and Foot, Hand, Knee, and Foot gives each player extra hands of cards they must play through before going out. However, while Hand and Foot requires a player to play out their hand and one extra hand, in Hand, Knee, and Foot you have two extra hands to get rid of, or three in all! That means a Hand, Knee, and Foot player effectively has a 39-card hand!

Euchre: Tuesdays at 1:00 pm

Euchre is a card game, played with a group 4, in which each player is dealt five cards and the player making trump must take three tricks to win a hand. 

Samba: Wednesdays at 12:00 pm

Samba, card game, variant of canasta, in which three 52-card decks plus 6 jokers are used. Unlike canasta, in which only cards of the same rank may be melded (grouped face up on the playing surface and scored), samba also allows sequences of three or more cards in the same suit to be melded.
