Title: game teaching?
Post by: groomporter on July 14, 2011, 09:43:11 AM
We're going to be teaching some Victorian card games that we haven't played much (like Whist) while at a Steampunk convention in November, so we need practice teaching them. We're thinking about doing some sessions Sunday mornings before our regular business picks up. Anybody interested in being guinea pigs?

rats... if I am ever not busy, I would totally love to learn to play. As I love card games, so maybe when I retire Jewel I can come learn.
