Top 8 Old School Games
by Dylan - first posted October 6, 2010
I turned 22 on Sunday, an age I thought was still young until today. Recently I purchased the new BlackBerry Torch (will be releasing my custom theme soon) and I love it. One of the first things I did was install MeBoy (JavaMobile based GBC emulator) with Pokemon Red and Silver. I felt like a little kid again… until I started talking to one of the kids on my block.
I blew his mind when I told him that Pokemon Red and Blue was released in black and white, as the original GameBoy had no colour. He’s never heard of floppy disks, Goosebumps, or a Walkman. Before I build up too much steam here, I just want to say that all this talk of life growing up for me made me want to reflect on my favourite and most memorable video games growing up. Here’s my top 8!
#8: Sonic the Hedgehog 3 | Sega Genesis 1994
I spent so much time playing this 2d platformer at my friend’s house it’s not even funny. With amazing level design, simple game play mechanics, and hours of fun, Sonic 3 was the first video game I ever fell in love with.
Most Memorable Moment: The Carnival Night Zone. God that level was fun.
#7:Wolfenstein 3D | PC 1992
Wolfenstein 3D was a real eye-opener when it was released, and it was the first title to get me into PC gaming. The predecessor to Doom and Quake, Wolfenstein 3D’s simple-looking graphics were revolutionary at the time.
Most Memorable Moment: The final boss is Mecha Hitler!
#6: Finaly Fantasy IX : PlayStation 2000
This was the first RPG I ever played, and in my humble opinion, the best Final Fantasy to date. Great character development with an amazing story (gets a little weird on disc 4 though). And Vivi! Awwwwwww.
Most Memorable Moment: On disc 2, when Queen Brahne summons Odin to destroy an entire city.
#5: Golden Sun : GameBoy Advance 2001
Another RPG but for GameBoy Advance. I have great memories of this game. Kind of a mix between the hand held Zelda games and Final Fantasy. Great dungeon and puzzle design with an amazing story to go with it.
Most Memorable Moment: The meeting at Jupiter Lighthouse
#4: Pokemon Red/Silver : GameBoy 1996/1999
Well I mentioned it in the introduction so I guess it’s no surprise to see Pokemon here. My Dad bought be Pokemon Red when it came out so I had something to do on the long plane ride over to England. I was only 9 at the time, and it was my first time flying alone (visiting my Grandparents in England). Needless to say, 10 hours strait later, I was addicted. Charzard is the coolest Pokemon ever. The addition of Gold and Silver (I bought silver) in 1999 really fixed a lot of the problems and little annoyances of the first generation, and added an onslaught of new features such as time!
Most Memorable Moment: SS. Anne / beating elite 4 and finding out that you are only half way this time!
#3: The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening : GameBoy 1993
This game is what made me so good at problem solving. A great story – with a horrible ending. I don’t mean that the ending was poorly written, I just mean the gamer is sad when it happens. Poor poor Link.
Most Memorable Moment: Unlocking the lvl.2 sword for the first time. It shoots lasers!
#2: Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time : Nintendo 64 1998
One of the greatest games of all time. Everything for the immersive environment to the beautiful storyline in this game makes it memorable.
Most Memorable Moment: When Saria gives you your first Ocarina on the bridge.
#1: Starcraft : PC 1998
Best game ever made to date (except maybe Starcraft II). Incredible story line, amazing gameplay. This real time strategy game is the best.
Most Memorable Moment: Poor Praetor Fenix 🙁
Legend of Zelda: Seasons
Final Fantasy Tactics


Not much done today, I loaded up the game to see what needed doing and noticed that one of the checkpoints wasn't labelled properly, so I changed that to make it work. I also prevented the game mode from saving gold except on dedicated save points because the gold wasn't being saved between levels and I already knew all the variables were being reset to 0 every time I opened a level. I also added a hovering arrow above the level gate to make sure players know where to go. It looks like this:
I can't remember if I did anything else today to be honest, but as I was swapping out an old broken collectible item for the new one, I somehow broke something else and now a new save is created every time the game opens for some reason, so the opening text never shows. It also means that I load in from the same place each time regardless of any checkpoints I've passed.

A group of 17 of us took over 3 lanes at The Pavillion bowling in Bromley for a fun filled evening.
We each played 2 games and most people improved their score in the second game. In lane 1 Alison was top scorer with 104, in Lane 2 Kay got top score of 108 and in lane 3 Sonia matched Alison’s score of 104.


REDMOND, Wash.—Xbox has announced plans to release Desmond, a video game inspired by World War II medic Desmond Doss.
The Adventist conscientious objector saved dozens of fellow soldiers during the World War II Battle of Okinawa without firing or carrying a gun. His story was dramatized in the 2016 film Hacksaw Ridge. Desmond has been framed as a peace-loving spin-off of the ultra-violent Halo shooter game series.
Desmond generates digital halos for players who successfully complete the game by saving 75 wounded soldiers from the battlefield.


Since the Celtic Dragons squad joined the Super League in 2005, each athlete that takes to the court is awarded an appearance number.
After dedicating a substantial amount of time building our records and historical data, we are honoured to share that we now have a fully comprehensive database of our athletes and Super League matches. This season our athletes will be sporting a new feature on their netball dresses. Each Dragon will now proudly wear their name and Celtic Dragons appearance number on their back, celebrating the part they played in Dragon’s history.
Dannii Titmuss-Morris (Celtic Dragons Head Coach) said, ‘The history of Celtic Dragons is so vast, being one of the few inaugural NSL teams. I’m delighted we’re able to reveal each of the Celtic Dragons player numbers and tie the history of Dragons in with our present and the future.
With our newest recruit Ally Housley making her first Netball Super League appearance for Celtic Dragons in our match against Saracens Mavericks on Saturday 4th March, all athletes this season will wear their numbers on the back of their dresses this season.
The current Celtic Dragons Athletes and their player appearance numbers are as follows:


Microsoft’s official purchase of the video game publisher Activision has raised more questions about how crypto and the metaverse will influence both companies’ products and operations.
When the acquisition was announced in January 2022, Microsoft claimed it would “accelerate the growth in Microsoft’s gaming business” and “provide building blocks for the metaverse.” A few paragraphs later, the company claimed that “Gaming […] will play a key role in the development of metaverse platforms.”
Yet much has changed since then: when the transaction was completed on October 13, the metaverse was left unmentioned in a statement from Microsoft Gaming on the matter. In fact, during an interview with Bloomberg in August, Microsoft Gaming CEO Phil Spencer showed skepticism of the entire concept.
“My view on Metaverse is that gamers have been in the Metaverse for 30 years,” he said at the time. “When you’re playing games, if you’re playing a World of Warcraft game, you’re playing in Roblox, you’re playing in a racing game where everybody’s in a shared world.”
He was later quoted calling the Metaverse a “poorly built video game,” insisting that video games have placed players within 3D spaces for years. “Building a metaverse that looks like a meeting room, I just find that’s not where I want to spend most of my time,” he added.
Microsoft’s Metaverse Plans
In fact, that may be what Microsoft actually had in mind with its Metaverse to begin with. In an interview with the Financial Times in February 2022, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella listed “meetings and gaming” as a single metaverse application they were focusing on.
The company’s metaverse platform Mesh already began previews this month, and includes elements of both business communications and gaming. It states:
“Play built-in interactive games for team bonding within immersive spaces. To get started, you can see a few designated areas to roast marshmallows, throw beanbags, answer fun icebreaker questions, and more.”
While the Metaverse’s place at Microsoft remains questionable, leaked internal documents from the company last month suggested that the company might intend to incorporate crypto wallets with its Xbox gaming device, though no specific details about the integration plan were mentioned.
Though CEO Spencer downplayed the leak, he did not deny its contents. “It is hard to see our team’s work shared in this way because so much has changed,” he said over Twitter at the time. “We will share the real plans when they are ready.”


I almost never play computer games anymore. I grew up with the "classic" gaming consoles as a kid (Atari, Intellivision, etc.) and then had a Commodore 64 with lots of games. So I really had my fill early on in life.
But for reasons I cannot explain, I followed a link to Desktop Tower Defense earlier this week and have not been the same since.
The lack of posting here in the second half of this week (especially to my linkblog) has been a direct result of attempting to beat this highly addictive game.
Whatever you do, please DO NOT click the link and start playing that game. You may find yourself in the very same time warp that I did...
You have been warned.

Despite the 4-1 final score, our game against Mound Fort was much closer than the final score would indicate. There was a lot of strong play for much of the game, and we proved that we could play well against a highly-skilled team. For most of the clock, the game was tied. Our solo goal was scored by Bryan Pantoja, who played with a lot of energy throughout the game and was an example of our fierce determination to compete. The whole team played with heart and demonstrated their toughness and dedication to each other. We look forward to the rematch at Highland.
Highland Falls to Mound Fort, 1-4

Adam Lallana’s stoppage-time goal earned Liverpool a 5-4 win at Norwich – the final dramatic act of a thrilling afternoon at Carrow Road. Manchester City 3 QPR 2, May 2012 Perhaps the most significant of all, City started this game knowing a win would earn them a first Premier League title but when they went 2-1 down – even against ten men – it looked as though rivals United would take the trophy. However, Edin Dzeko scored with two minutes of time added on to level and then, memorably, Sergio Aguero (or to quote Martin Tyler, ‘Agueroooooooooo’) won both the match and the title with 93:20 on the clock. Liverpool 4 Newcastle 3, April 1996 Sure to feature on everyone’s classic list, this was the game which saw Newcastle boss Kevin Keegan slump over the front of the dugout as his side’s title chances went up in smoke. Liverpool came from 2-0 down, only to see Faustino Asprilla make it 3-2 seconds later. Stan Collymore soon levelled and then won it two minutes into added time, with Tyler again taking over with his line of “Collymore closing in”. Newcastle 4 Arsenal 4, February 2011 When Theo Walcott scored for Arsenal 44 seconds into this game it set the tone for a blistering period of away play, with Johan Djourou and Robin van Persie (two) putting Arsenal 4-0 up. Reds boss Jurgen Klopp lost his glasses amid wild celebrations on the touchline, the German getting a real taste of the kind of finishes the Premier League can conjure up. Here, Press Association Sport looks at five other late-goal classics. Press Association However, the game turned as Abou Diaby saw red for Arsenal and Newcastle mounted a stellar comeback. Two penalties from Joey Barton and a Leon Best goal gave them a foothold, but they still needed a brilliant 87th-minute volley from Cheik Tiote to get a point. Leicester 3 Arsenal 3, August 1997 Perhaps best remembered for Dennis Bergkamp’s brilliant solo goal, this game had far more to it. The Dutchman’s wonder goal was actually to put Arsenal up after Matt Elliott had scored in the third minute of stoppage time for Leicester to make it 2-2, but there was still time for Steve Walsh to score another dramatic goal and make it 3-3. Chelsea 2 Arsenal 3, October 1999 Arsenal, again! Nigerian Kanu took centre stage as the Gunners mounted a terrific comeback against Chelsea at the Bridge. Headers from Tore Andre Flo and Dan Petrescu got Chelsea 2-0 up, but then Kanu took control. He pulled two back from close range in regulation time and then, in stoppage time, broke free, skipped past keeper Ed de Goey by the corner flag and then curled in the winner from an improbable angle.

In Hd Asian games, it is also useful to sort one's hand, rearranging the cards in a way appropriate to the game. Nicht notwendig Nicht notwendig. The set of cards that each player receives and holds in his or her hands is also known as that player's hand. They are commonly used as filler to depict background activities in an atmosphere like a bar or rec room, but sometimes the drama revolves around the play of the game. A common case is four players in two fixed partnerships, sitting crosswise as in whist and contract bridge.
Most often this occurs when one player or all has no cards left. The player who sits after the dealer in the direction of play is known as eldest hand or in two-player games as elder hand or forehand.
A game round consists of as many hands as there are players. After each hand, the deal is passed on in the direction of play, i.
Normally players score points after each hand. A game may consist of a fixed number of rounds. Alternatively it can be played for a fixed number of points.
In this case it is over with the hand in which a player reaches the target score. Shuffling is the process of bringing the cards of a pack into a random order.
There are a large number of techniques with various advantages and disadvantages. Riffle shuffling is a method in which the deck is divided into two roughly equal-sized halves that are bent and then released, so that the cards interlace.
Repeating this process several times randomizes the deck well, but the method is harder to learn than some others and may damage the cards.
The overhand shuffle and the Hindu shuffle are two techniques that work by taking batches of cards from the top of the deck and reassembling them in the opposite order.
They are easier to learn but must be repeated more often. A method suitable for small children consists in spreading the cards on a large surface and moving them around before picking up the deck again.
This is also the most common method for shuffling tiles such as dominoes. For casino games that are played for large sums it is vital that the cards be properly randomised, but for many games this is less critical, and in fact player experience can suffer when the cards are shuffled too well.
The official skat rules stipulate that the cards are shuffled well , but according to a decision of the German skat court, a one-handed player should ask another player to do the shuffling, rather than use a shuffling machine , as it would shuffle the cards too well.
French belote rules go so far as to prescribe that the deck never be shuffled between hands. The dealer takes all of the cards in the pack, arranges them so that they are in a uniform stack, and shuffles them.
In strict play, the dealer then offers the deck to the previous player in the sense of the game direction for cutting.
If the deal is clockwise, this is the player to the dealer's right; if counterclockwise, it is the player to the dealer's left.
The invitation to cut is made by placing the pack, face downward, on the table near the player who is to cut: who then lifts the upper portion of the pack clear of the lower portion and places it alongside.
Normally the two portions have about equal size. Strict rules often indicate that each portion must contain a certain minimum number of cards, such as three or five.
The formerly lower portion is then replaced on top of the formerly upper portion. Instead of cutting, one may also knock on the deck to indicate that one trusts the dealer to have shuffled fairly.
The actual deal distribution of cards is done in the direction of play, beginning with eldest hand.
The dealer holds the pack, face down, in one hand, and removes cards from the top of it with his or her other hand to distribute to the players, placing them face down on the table in front of the players to whom they are dealt.
The cards may be dealt one at a time, or in batches of more than one card; and either the entire pack or a determined number of cards are dealt out.
The undealt cards, if any, are left face down in the middle of the table, forming the stock also called the talon, widow, skat or kitty depending on the game and region.
Throughout the shuffle, cut, and deal, the dealer should prevent the players from seeing the faces of any of the cards.
The players should not try to see any of the faces. Should a player accidentally see a card, other than one's own, proper etiquette would be to admit this.
It is also dishonest to try to see cards as they are dealt, or to take advantage of having seen a card. Should a card accidentally become exposed, visible to all , any player can demand a redeal all the cards are gathered up, and the shuffle, cut, and deal are repeated or that the card be replaced randomly into the deck "burning" it and a replacement dealt from the top to the player who was to receive the revealed card.
When the deal is complete, all players pick up their cards, or "hand", and hold them in such a way that the faces can be seen by the holder of the cards but not the other players, or vice versa depending on the game.
It is helpful to fan one's cards out so that if they have corner indices all their values can be seen at once. In most games, it is also useful to sort one's hand, rearranging the cards in a way appropriate to the game.
For example, in a trick-taking game it may be easier to have all one's cards of the same suit together, whereas in a rummy game one might sort them by rank or by potential combinations.
A new card game starts in a small way, either as someone's invention, or as a modification of an existing game.
Those playing it may agree to change the rules as they wish. The rules that they agree on become the "house rules" under which they play the game.
When a game becomes sufficiently popular, so that people often play it with strangers, there is a need for a generally accepted set of rules.
This need is often met when a particular set of house rules becomes generally recognized. For example, when Whist became popular in 18th-century England , players in the Portland Club agreed on a set of house rules for use on its premises.
Players in some other clubs then agreed to follow the "Portland Club" rules, rather than go to the trouble of codifying and printing their own sets of rules.
The Portland Club rules eventually became generally accepted throughout England and Western cultures. There is nothing static or "official" about this process.
For the majority of games, there is no one set of universal rules by which the game is played, and the most common ruleset is no more or less than that.
Many widely played card games, such as Canasta and Pinochle , have no official regulating body. The most common ruleset is often determined by the most popular distribution of rulebooks for card games.
Perhaps the original compilation of popular playing card games was collected by Edmund Hoyle , a self-made authority on many popular parlor games.
The U. Playing Card Company now owns the eponymous Hoyle brand, and publishes a series of rulebooks for various families of card games that have largely standardized the games' rules in countries and languages where the rulebooks are widely distributed.
However, players are free to, and often do, invent "house rules" to supplement or even largely replace the "standard" rules.
If there is a sense in which a card game can have an "official" set of rules, it is when that card game has an "official" governing body.
For example, the rules of tournament bridge are governed by the World Bridge Federation , and by local bodies in various countries such as the American Contract Bridge League in the U.
The rules of Poker 's variants are largely traditional, but enforced by the World Series of Poker and the World Poker Tour organizations which sponsor tournament play.
Even in these cases, the rules must only be followed exactly at games sanctioned by these governing bodies; players in less formal settings are free to implement agreed-upon supplemental or substitute rules at will.
An infraction is any action which is against the rules of the game, such as playing a card when it is not one's turn to play or the accidental exposure of a card, informally known as "bleeding.
In many official sets of rules for card games, the rules specifying the penalties for various infractions occupy more pages than the rules specifying how to play correctly.
This is tedious, but necessary for games that are played seriously. Players who intend to play a card game at a high level generally ensure before beginning that all agree on the penalties to be used.
When playing privately, this will normally be a question of agreeing house rules. In a tournament there will probably be a tournament director who will enforce the rules when required and arbitrate in cases of doubt.
If a player breaks the rules of a game deliberately, this is cheating. The rest of this section is therefore about accidental infractions, caused by ignorance, clumsiness, inattention, etc.
As the same game is played repeatedly among a group of players, precedents build up about how a particular infraction of the rules should be handled.
For example, "Sheila just led a card when it wasn't her turn. Last week when Jo did that, we agreed Sets of house rules may become formalized, as described in the previous section.
Therefore, for some games, there is a "proper" way of handling infractions of the rules. But for many games, without governing bodies, there is no standard way of handling infractions.
In many circumstances, there is no need for special rules dealing with what happens after an infraction. As a general principle, the person who broke a rule should not benefit by it, and the other players should not lose by it.
An exception to this may be made in games with fixed partnerships, in which it may be felt that the partner s of the person who broke a rule should also not benefit.
The penalty for an accidental infraction should be as mild as reasonable, consistent with there being no possible benefit to the person responsible.
The same kind of games can also be played with tiles made of wood, plastic, bone, or similar materials. The most notable examples of such tile sets are dominoes , mahjong tiles and Rummikub tiles.
Chinese dominoes are also available as playing cards. It is not clear whether Emperor Muzong of Liao really played with domino cards as early as , though.
The first playing cards appeared in the 9th century during Tang-dynasty China. Mahjong tiles are a 19th-century invention based on three-suited money playing card decks, similar to the way in which Rummikub tiles were derived recently from modern Western playing cards.
Playing cards first appeared in Europe in the last quarter of the 14th century. The s in Italy saw the invention of the tarot deck , a full Latin-suited deck augmented by suitless cards with painted motifs that played a special role as trumps.
Tarot card games are still played with subsets of these decks in parts of Central Europe. In the 18th century the card images of the traditional Italian tarot decks became popular in cartomancy and evolved into "esoteric" decks used primarily for the purpose; today most tarot decks sold in North America are the occult type, and are closely associated with fortune telling.
In Europe, "playing tarot" decks remain popular for games, and have evolved since the 18th century to use regional suits spades, hearts, diamonds and clubs in France; leaves, hearts, bells and acorns in Germany as well as other familiar aspects of the Anglo-American deck such as corner card indices and "stamped" card symbols for non-court cards.
Decks differ regionally based on the number of cards needed to play the games; the French tarot consists of the "full" 78 cards, while Germanic, Spanish and Italian Tarot variants remove certain values usually low suited cards from the deck, creating a deck with as few as 32 cards.
The French suits were introduced around and, in France, mostly replaced the earlier Latin suits of swords , clubs , cups and coins.
This drastically simplifies the production of a deck of cards versus the traditional Italian deck, which used unique full-color art for each card in the deck.
The French suits became popular in English playing cards in the 16th century despite historic animosity between France and England , and from there were introduced to British colonies including North America.
The rise of Western culture has led to the near-universal popularity and availability of French-suited playing cards even in areas with their own regional card art.
In Japan, a distinct card hanafuda deck is popular. It is derived from 16th-century Portuguese decks, after undergoing a long evolution driven by laws enacted by the Tokugawa shogunate attempting to ban the use of playing cards.
The best-known deck internationally is the Anglo-American pattern of the card French deck used for such games as poker and contract bridge.
It contains one card for each unique combination of thirteen ranks and the four French suits spades , hearts , diamonds , and clubs.
The ranks from highest to lowest in bridge and poker are ace , king , queen , jack or knave , and the numbers from ten down to two or deuce.
The trump cards and knight cards from the French playing tarot are not included. Originally the term knave was more common than "jack"; the card had been called a jack as part of the terminology of All-Fours since the 17th century, but the word was considered vulgar.
The earliest known deck to place suits and rankings in the corner of the card is from , but these cards did not become common until after when Hart reintroduced them along with the knave-to-jack change.
However, books of card games published in the third quarter of the 19th century evidently still referred to the "knave", and the term with this definition is still recognized in the United Kingdom.
It was a derivative of Triomphe and was the first card game in history to introduce the concept of bidding. Chinese handmade mother-of-pearl gaming counters were used in scoring and bidding of card games in the West during the approximate period of — The gaming counters would bear an engraving such as a coat of arms or a monogram to identify a family or individual.
Many of the gaming counters also depict Chinese scenes, flowers or animals. Queen Charlotte , wife of George III , is one prominent British individual who is known to have played with the Chinese gaming counters.
Card games such as Ombre , Quadrille and Pope Joan were popular at the time and required counters for scoring.
The production of counters declined after Whist , with its different scoring method, became the most popular card game in the West.
Since the 19th century some decks have been specially printed for certain games. Old Maid, Phase 10, Rook, and Uno are examples of games that can be played with one or more card decks but are usually played with custom decks.
Cards play an important role in board games like Risk and Monopoly. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. For other uses, see Card game disambiguation.

Genug der langen Vorrede, dir kribbelt es doch schon in den Fingern! Scopa is considered one of the national card games of Italy.
Cassino is the only fishing game to be widely played in English-speaking countries. Zwicker has been described as a "simpler and jollier version of Cassino", played in Germany.
Comparing card games are those where hand values are compared to determine the winner, also known as "vying" or "showdown" games. Poker , blackjack , and baccarat are examples of comparing card games.
As seen, nearly all of these games are designed as gambling games. Solitaire games are designed to be played by one player.
Drinking card games are drinking games using cards, in which the object in playing the game is either to drink or to force others to drink.
Many games are simply ordinary card games with the establishment of "drinking rules"; President , for instance, is virtually identical to Daihinmin but with additional rules governing drinking.
Poker can also be played using a number of drinks as the wager. Another game often played as a drinking game is Toepen , quite popular in the Netherlands.
Some card games are designed specifically to be played as drinking games. Many card games borrow elements from more than one type.
The most common combination is matching and shedding, as in some variants of Rummy, Old Maid , and Go Fish. However, many multi-genre games involve different stages of play for each hand.
The most common multi-stage combination is a "trick-and-meld" game, such as Pinochle or Belote.
Other multi-stage, multi-genre games include Poke , Gleek , Skitgubbe , and Tichu. Collectible card games CCG are proprietary playing card games.
CCGs are games of strategy between two players though multiplayer exists too. Both have their own personally built deck constructed from a very large pool of individually unique cards in the commercial market.
The cards have different effects, costs, and art. Obtaining the different cards makes the game a collectible and cards are sold or traded on the secondary market.
These games revolve around wagers of money. Though virtually any game in which there are winning and losing outcomes can be wagered on, these games are specifically designed to make the betting process a strategic part of the game.
Some of these games involve players betting against each other, such as poker, while in others, like blackjack , players wager against the house.
Poker is a family of gambling games in which players bet into a pool, called the pot, the value of which changes as the game progresses that the value of the hand they carry will beat all others according to the ranking system.
Variants largely differ on how cards are dealt and the methods by which players can improve a hand. For many reasons, including its age and its popularity among Western militaries, it is one of the most universally known card games in existence.
Many other card games have been designed and published on a commercial or amateur basis. In some cases, the game uses the standard card deck, but the object is unique.
In Eleusis , for example, players play single cards, and are told whether the play was legal or illegal, in an attempt to discover the underlying rules made up by the dealer.
Most of these games however typically use a specially made deck of cards designed specifically for the game or variations of it.
The decks are thus usually proprietary, but may be created by the game's players. Uno , Phase 10 , Set , and Blank White Cards are popular dedicated-deck card games; Blank White Cards is unique in that the cards for the game are designed by the players of the game while playing it; there is no commercially available deck advertised as such.
A deck of either customised dedicated cards or a standard deck of playing cards with assigned meanings is used to simulate the actions of another activity, for example card football.
Many games, including card games, are fabricated by science fiction authors and screenwriters to distance a culture depicted in the story from present-day Western culture.
They are commonly used as filler to depict background activities in an atmosphere like a bar or rec room, but sometimes the drama revolves around the play of the game.
Some of these games become real card games as the holder of the intellectual property develops and markets a suitable deck and ruleset for the game, while others, such as "Exploding Snap" from the Harry Potter franchise, lack sufficient descriptions of rules, or depend on cards or other hardware that are infeasible or physically impossible.
Any specific card game imposes restrictions on the number of players. The most significant dividing lines run between one-player games and two-player games, and between two-player games and multi-player games.
Card games for one player are known as solitaire or patience card games. See list of solitaire card games. Generally speaking, they are in many ways special and atypical, although some of them have given rise to two- or multi-player games such as Spite and Malice.
In card games for two players, usually not all cards are distributed to the players, as they would otherwise have perfect information about the game state.
Two-player games have always been immensely popular and include some of the most significant card games such as piquet , bezique , sixty-six , klaberjass , gin rummy and cribbage.
Many multi-player games started as two-player games that were adapted to a greater number of players. For such adaptations a number of non-obvious choices must be made beginning with the choice of a game orientation.
One way of extending a two-player game to more players is by building two teams of equal size. A common case is four players in two fixed partnerships, sitting crosswise as in whist and contract bridge.
Partners sit opposite to each other and cannot see each other's hands. If communication between the partners is allowed at all, then it is usually restricted to a specific list of permitted signs and signals.
Another way of extending a two-player game to more players is as a cut-throat game, in which all players fight on their own, and win or lose alone.
Most cut-throat card games are round games , i. For some of the most interesting games such as ombre , tarot and skat , the associations between players change from hand to hand.
Ultimately players all play on their own, but for each hand, some game mechanism divides the players into two teams.
Most typically these are solo games , i. But in games for more than three players, there may also be a mechanism that selects two players who then have to play against the others.
The players of a card game normally form a circle around a table or other space that can hold cards. The game orientation or direction of play , which is only relevant for three or more players, can be either clockwise or counterclockwise.
It is the direction in which various roles in the game proceed. Most regions have a traditional direction of play, such as:.
Europe is roughly divided into a clockwise area in the north and a counterclockwise area in the south.
Games that originate in a region with a strong preference are often initially played in the original direction, even in regions that prefer the opposite direction.
For games that have official rules and are played in tournaments, the direction of play is often prescribed in those rules.
Most games have some form of asymmetry between players. The roles of players are normally expressed in terms of the dealer , i.
Being the dealer can be a minor or major advantage or disadvantage, depending on the game. Therefore, after each played hand, the deal normally passes to the next player according to the game orientation.
As it can still be an advantage or disadvantage to be the first dealer, there are some standard methods for determining who is the first dealer.
A common method is by cutting, which works as follows. One player shuffles the deck and places it on the table. Each player lifts a packet of cards from the top, reveals its bottom card, and returns it to the deck.
The player who reveals the highest or lowest card becomes dealer. In case of a tie, the process is repeated by the tied players.
For some games such as whist this process of cutting is part of the official rules, and the hierarchy of cards for the purpose of cutting which need not be the same as that used otherwise in the game is also specified.
But in general any method can be used, such as tossing a coin in case of a two-player game, drawing cards until one player draws an ace, or rolling dice.
A hand is a unit of the game that begins with the dealer shuffling and dealing the cards as described below, and ends with the players scoring and the next dealer being determined.
The set of cards that each player receives and holds in his or her hands is also known as that player's hand.
The hand is over when the players have finished playing their hands. Most often this occurs when one player or all has no cards left.
The player who sits after the dealer in the direction of play is known as eldest hand or in two-player games as elder hand or forehand.
A game round consists of as many hands as there are players. After each hand, the deal is passed on in the direction of play, i.
Normally players score points after each hand. A game may consist of a fixed number of rounds. Alternatively it can be played for a fixed number of points.Die Kartenwerte sind sowohl Zahlen als auch Figuren wie z. Zur Zusammenstellung von Spielkarten siehe Spielkarte Kartenblätter. R für fr.

Antrim hung on to beat Kerry 5-22 to 4-24 in the Joe McDonagh Cup final after the Saffrons had led by 12 points.
Goals by Ciaran Clarke, James McNaughton and Seaan Elliott helped Antrim lead 3-14 to 1-10 at half-time with Podge Boyle netting for Kerry.
A Conal Cunning goal increased the margin but two Jordan Conway goals helped cut Antrim’s lead to only two.
Clarke’s penalty put Antrim five up and they held on to win by one despite Boyle’s last-puck Kerry goal.
Cunning was named man of the match after hitting 1-12 but he was actually outscored by Boyle’s 2-11 for the Kingdom.
Both men fired over a series of frees from short and long-range although the Kerry marksman missed two crucial placed balls in the closing 10 minutes as his side suffered a third successive Joe McDonagh Cup Final defeat.
Referee Sean Stack’s decision to award a free which resulted in Antrim’s third-last point for Cunning also looked highly questionable as Saffrons substitute Daniel McKernan appeared to trip over his own feet rather than being fouled.
That score in the first of six added minutes put Antrim four up and both sides tagged on two further points before Boyle lashed in his second goal in what proved to the final play of the Croke Park contest, which the curtain-raiser to the Leinster Final between Kilkenny and Galway.
Antrim to face Cork next weekend
Antrim’s victory means they will return to the Leinster Championship in 2023 after suffering relegation last summer while both sides will be in All-Ireland quarter-finals qualifier action next weekend with the Saffrons hosting Cork and Kerry welcoming Wexford.
There was no hint of the drama to follow as Antrim completely dominated early on.
Clarke fired in the Saffrons’ first goal in the fifth minute and McNaughton then scythed through the Kerry defence to ram in another major in the 10th minute to put Antrim 2-3 to 0-2 ahead.
With Cunning firing over a series of scores from frees and play, the Antrim lead was increased to 2-11 to 0-5 by the 26th minute before Fionan MacKessy earned a soft enough looking penalty, which Boyle hammered past Ryan Elliott.
With Boyle continuing to tag on frees, Kerry cut Antrim’s lead to 2-13 to 1-9 nearing half-time but the Saffrons hit 1-1 in injury time with Elliott stabbing home from close range after Kingdom keeper Louis Dee had saved a pointblank Keelan Molloy shot and Cunning also pointing before the break.
With the Saffrons helped by a breeze in the second period, Cunning picked up a breaking ball to ram in Antrim’s four goal on 46 minutes as their lead was increased to 4-16 to 1-14.
However, the introduction of Jordan Conway, which had happened late in the first half, began to bear fruit for the Kingdom as he fired in two goals in four minutes to suddenly leave only three between the teams with 16 minutes of normal time left.
Conway’s brother Shane was expected to be the main danger to the Antrim defence but instead it was the substitute who threatened to unhinge Darren Gleeson’s side.
A Boyle free cut Antrim’s lead still further but then came a crucial moment in the 60th minute as the relatively subdued Neil McManus earned a penalty after running on to a long ball.
With Clarke superbly lashing the penalty to the top corner of the net, Kerry suffered a further blow as Paudie O’Connor was black carded for his pull across McManus’ hand.
However, there was only a puck of the ball between the sides again in the 68th minute after points by substitute Maurice O’Connor and Michael Leane.
As the Kingdom continued to press, Antrim were lucky to get the respite of Cunning’s final point in the second minute of injury time after McKernan’s apparent slip.
As points from the now back Paudie O’Connor and Shane Conway left – either side of McKernan score – got the margin back to only three again, Antrim needed the insurance of Eoin O’Neill’s 74th minute score, as Boyle hammered in his second goal in the closing seconds of a frenetic contest.

Fantasy games have become popular on the net. It ranges now through almost every sport. Least of which is rugby. This game is played online and participants are allowed to pick up actual players to fill their rooster. Based on the performance of these players in actual life points are awarded the teams. Participants compete with other players online with a limit on the trades in the team.
Value of players is very important in fantasy games. As there is a limit on how much you can spend this is very important. Player’s values are known to begin at how well their performance was the previous season. Their value may either increase or decrease throughout the year as more people recruit them.
Most rugby fantasy games don’t start their point system for a team until that team is complete. Reserves also don’t get any points for their team.
All sporting games have performance indicators. Rugby is no different. This makes it possible in a lot of ways for players on your rooster to earn points for the team as fantasy rugby uses these performance indicators to award points.
There are award systems that are special to players for different positions. A player can therefore earn points no matter where on the field he is placed.
Players earn points through running, passing and tackling. Lineout, rucks and scrums also affect the point system. Making mistakes in the game can cause a player to lose points affecting the team they are in. special points are give to match winners and game turners.
Examples of things that lose a player points are losing the ball. This can happen over the rucks or when going forward. Goals and kicking however increases the points of a player.
Each player’s accumulated points for the week are then added to the other players on the team and posted as the week total points gained or lost.

We’re restarting the 1v1 league and it will feature prizes, new rules and a more defined schedule. The season will start on September 6th, 2017 & the deadline to join is August 30th, 2017 by 8 pm EST. Here are the details:
– There is a 1 key entrance fee. The winner gets 6 keys and runner up gets roughly 2 keys.
– Games will take place once a week on Wednesday nights at 8 pm EST. The schedule will be posted about 1 week ahead of time and if you can arrange a time to play prior to the scheduled time, you can go ahead and play earlier.
-If a player misses a match, he will receive a yellow card and the match will be rescheduled and played after the last week of the season. If a player misses a second match, it’s an automatic forfeit. However, if a player misses a match and is able to arrange a match with his opponent within 48 hours of their scheduled match, there will be no yellow card or forfeit.
– If a player misses a third match he will receive another yellow card. An automatic forfeit will occur if there are any subsequent matches missed after that point.
– Each player will play 2 matches against all competitors (home and away – home team selects the arena). If there are 10 players in the league, each player will play 18 games in 9 weeks. Experimental arenas are not allowed to be selected unless both players agree to play on it.
– Only players ranked below Platinum 1 are eligible and their highest rank from all game modes will be used to determine their rank.
– I encourage everyone to take screen shots following each game just in case there’s a dispute about who won the game. Post your scores in the 1v1 channel.
– Prior to playing, post on this channel to check in just to show that you were present. If your opponent doesn’t show up, we will have record that you checked in and were ready to play.
– If there are any disputes regarding game scores or scheduling, let me know and I’ll try to help resolve it.
– If a player uses an account different than the one he used to register, he may be disqualified from the tournament. If you need to use a different account to play, please let me know prior to your game.
– At the end of the season, if there’s a tie for first or second place, there will be a 3 game playoff series to decide who wins that spot. The player with the better goal differential will have home field advantage if there’s a game 3.
– Don’t be a dick. This is a friendly environment. Keep trash talking and any other dickish behaviour to a minimum.

Choosing Between The Many Casino Games
Casino games offered by most casinos are also often called casino games. In a casino game, players gamble real cash or casino chips on different possible outcomes or combinations of results. In a pure strategy game, players take turns choosing which card from the deck of cards is passed with their opponents; in a casino game of skill, the ball player must determine the very best strategy and make the proper combinations with cards dealt. In online casinos, casino games are even available where the player has to determine how much to bet and at what odds. There are other styles of casino games too such as for example slots and video poker. These too require strategy and skill and can be easily played by the casino guest with the right gaming system and software at home.
In casinos, casino games are controlled by software companies who provide the different odds of the various games. The casinos then provide online or download clients with exactly the same odds or mix of odds for that one game. The casino software companies charge the download fee or transaction fee with respect to the type of game and the amount of players that’ll be accommodated at one time. It is very important know that all such fees come in addition to any taxes which may be due at the end of your day. Many casinos however provide downloads for free in addition to give players a choice of playing without making any purchases.
One of the most popular casino games available today is blackjack, which is probably the most commonly played table games as well as probably the most popular casino games to play online. Blackjack can be played as both a Progressive and a No-ropa version and will be found all over the world in casinos and land-based casinos alike. Among the reasons why blackjack is so popular is that it is among the easier casino games to play and has relatively fixed odds. Blackjack can also be played for fun or for gambling purposes.
No-Limit TEXAS HOLD EM is another popular card game that may be found all around the world. No-limit Texas holdem is a variant of the typical limit poker game that uses random possiblity to create a set number of betting rounds instead of the traditional betting rounds where in fact the house edge exists. Blackjack players who know the proper skill levels could make good money out of this game by betting out if they have a strong hand, but keep in mind that as the skill level rises so does the chance. Blackjack is also played as a table game at most casinos and will therefore be easily built-into other casino games.
Video Poker was one of the first casino games to be introduced onto land-based casinos. Without nearly as popular as its American cousin blackjack, video poker continues to be a very popular game. The main difference between video poker and video slot is that you don’t need a deck of cards, nor do you need to deal the cards yourself. In video poker, you pay a certain amount (your bankroll) and then you choose the cards that you wish to play and the casino will deal them for you. With just a little practice and the proper knowledge, you can be just as successful with video poker as you are with blackjack.
Slots are another type of casino games that are available for you on the land-based casinos. Although there are lots of variations of the slots game including progressive and non Progressive versions, each of them basically function exactly the same way. In casino games like scratch cards, you are given a couple of scratch cards and you are able to scratch those cards to create a small amount of money. Each time you scratch a card, you move up a spot on the line, but there is an endless selection of scratch cards that you can scratch to make additional money. It is very similar to bingo, but it requires the ball player to possess a quick memory and be able to quickly and accurately know what cards they are searching for on the scratch cards before making a decision.
Another of the many types of casino games you can play on the web includes Roulette. Roulette is probably one of the most popular games in casinos and online with most of the online casinos offering both roulette and slots on their gambling sites. Again, you will have to use your judgment and strategy when playing roulette, although there are some similarities between the two games including the multi-layered betting structure. Exactly like slots, you can choose from a variety of odds to decide which bets you make when playing roulette.
One of the most popular casino games wanted to players include craps and slots. Both these games require decisions that must definitely be made and the results can either make or break you based on the choices you make. Casino goers that are unaware of the variations in each one of these casino games should find out what the popular versions of each game involve before making any side bets on any of these casino games. As you feel more 플러스 카지노 사이트 knowledgeable about these kinds of casino games, you will discover that you have more choices when deciding which game you would like to play next.

This guide discusses the hero Bastion of Overwatch, his strengths and weaknesses, features of mechanics, recommended tactics and possible pitfalls. The guide was written based on the experience of playing Overwatch, as well as many years of experience playing first-person shooters. The guide is aimed at conveying the necessary information both to beginners and experienced players. It will be useful for both players and Overwatchbetz bettors.
Advantages of Bastion
- He possesses the largest ammunition in the game and deals the greatest damage, which allows you to destroy enemy teams within a few seconds
- He is able to replenish health through self-repair
- He has a powerful absolute ability (Tank Mode), designed to deal strong damage to the area.
- Cannot move while in tank mode.
- Does not have the ability to increase the speed of movement and retreat; large model makes it easier to hit the enemy shells.
How to Play Bastion?
The bastion is a hero designed to protect and possess special abilities. He can switch between two different modes. In one mode, the Bastion does little damage, but can move normally. In another mode, it cannot move, but the damage from it increases dramatically. Thanks to the Turret Mode, Bastion instills fear in the hearts of opponents. In two seconds of shooting, he can kill even the most durable tank, without experiencing the need to recharge. This hero is the best suited for beginners who want to quickly achieve unsurpassed results.
At the same time, despite all attempts by Blizzard to correct the balance, the Bastion is still extremely effective against beginners who do not know how to behave in battle, and is absolutely not suitable for matches against experienced players who are able to take advantage of its weaknesses. The style of play by Bastion is largely determined by the shortcomings of this hero. Outside the turret mode, the Bastion practically does not cause damage, so it needs to minimize the time to change the place of deployment. This means that most of the time the Bastion cannot move, and opponents can freely approach it from the side or shoot it from afar.
Some players use the Bastion to attack, if the defenders took a vantage point near the attacker's resurrection point. They believe that they will be able to quickly break the defenders, and sometimes this tactic works, but by all indications it is not optimal. In the turret mode, the Bastion does not have a high survival rate, but it has to occupy a place on the dais, which makes it a priority target for enemy snipers. As a result, the Bastion dies, not having time to kill anyone. In this situation, a hero who could reach the enemy from behind (Reaper, Tracer, or Genji), as well as any tank, would be more useful. And finally, the Bastion can be of some benefit when playing in the Object Control mode.
Hope that this Bastion guide will be helpful for those who choose this hero in Overwatch.


Introduction to mini roulette
It should be admitted that roulette has long been established as the most popular game in many casinos. You can even say that this is a symbol of any gambling establishment. A rather old game, to this day, is kept on a wave of popularity. However, times are changing, including the game itself. A new version of the favorite entertainment is gaining momentum, namely the mini-roulette. Mini roulette is a miniature copy of traditional roulette with some differences in rules and strategies. In any case, mini roulette rules are based on online European roulette, the most popular version of this game.
Instructions for playing mini roulette
Roulette is recognized as the queen of gambling. This is a real gambling game, where it is impossible to apply the techniques and strategies of the game that would help in winning. Here, luck affects everything. If fortune smiles at the player, then he wins. If he loses, then it is better not to play that day and refuse any game.
Step 1. Get ready for a new table layout
You can be a professional player in different variations of roulette. However, you should be prepared for the fact that the mini roulette table is completely different from the usual one. There are only 12 numbers and zero on the reel, on the field instead of dozens there are three numbers, and in the column, there are only 4 numbers. The payout rates are almost the same as in classic European roulette. Hitting a number will bring 1:11, two – 1: 5, three numbers are paid out as a dozen 3: 1, etc.
Step 2. Think over the strategy of the game
In any game, you must be strategy-oriented. For example, in this form of roulette, there is an opportunity to first practice to understand the principle of the game. And then create your strategy by which you can get your winnings.
Step 3. Bidding
Everything is quite simple: you need to decide and place a bet, then after starting the wheel the game starts.
Step 4. Receiving the winnings
In case you guessed correctly from the numbers, you get your winnings automatically. One of the positive aspects of this game is the return of half of the bet when it hits 0 and the absence of a bet limit. Straight (11: 1) has the highest payout ratio, followed by Split (5: 1) and Street (3: 1). Column and Corner bets are paid on a 2: 1 basis. All other types of bets go one to one.
Let’s start with the most conspicuous detail, the wheel. In mini roulette, it consists of 13 sectors, from 0 to 12, respectively. By the way, this is 2 times less in the usual types of roulette. In American, there are 38, and in the European – 37.
In a sense, mini-roulette resembles French, since, in the case of 0 (zero), the player gets 50% of the bet back. But what distinguishes it from the well-known standard varieties is the absence of any limits on bets – a
n excellent opportunity if you decide to play «high». However, the absence of limit does not mean the rates themselves differ from the classic ones, namely:
- split – 2 adjacent numbers;
- street – 3 numbers in a row;
- corner – in the middle between 4 rooms;
- sixers – a bet on 6 numbers;
- column – 1 of 3 columns;
- bet on colors (red or black);
- over/under bet;
- even \ odd.
Pay attention to the payment scheme:
- straight – 11 to 1;
- split – 5 to 1;
- street – 3 to 1;
- corner – 2 to 1;
- column – 2 to 1;
- sixer – 1 to 1;
- color – 1 to 1;
- even \ odd – 1 to 1;
- more \ less – 1 to 1.
With the advent of the Internet, you have a unique opportunity to play your favorite game directly from your phone. Thus, you can brighten up your evening with a fun game, and invite your friends to such an exciting game. Beginners should not be afraid to start playing mini roulette at all, because applications always have prompts that will tell players what to do and where to click at the right time.

Ishido is a solitaire board game played with tiles, similar to Shanghai. The objective is to place all of the tiles onto the board and obtain the highest possible score by following specific rules of play. There are ways to play that can dramatically increase the score, which makes the game very strategic in nature. Additionally, when desired, the player can get an oracle reading by asking a question, which is answered when the player makes a very elegant play (four-way match).
There is also a "construction set" where players can create their own tiles and backgrounds. The game comes with numerous tile sets and backgrounds.
