What's on your mind?

[kittysbecute]

Sorry Matt. I don't think you want me to join in this time anyway, lol. I will try to figure out the rules on my own and join next time.

The best way to learn is to play!

 

[scraparcs]

But I will be......I will be.

Naw, not here. But where did my hug smiley go?

 

[graciesings]

Nahhh. I've tried for 10 minutes or so but my phone still won't show an entire third of the page. I don't think there's any way I can join y'all, but Maybe some other time.

Goodnight everyone have a great night (or day depending on where you are lol)

I can't even get how to download the game. Games more complex than Angry Birds confuse me anyway.

You should be in luck, then... Angry Birds is too complex for me.

I can't type because I'm a guest, but thank you. The computer wasn't shuffling well at the beginning.

Their 'shuffling' is iffy at best.

What's Dutch Blitz? Is that what Canadians call speed?

I'm not the best one to explain. To this day, I'm still not exactly sure what the concept is, lol.

I'm kidding. It is totally speed based. You are given cards of various colors and numbers. The goal is to get rid of all your cards first and "blitz." You have to move really fast as others will dispose their cards first, often preventing you from doing so. At the end of each round, you get penalized for any cards left in your hand. My score was so ridiculously bad.

In fairness, I've only really had this game explained to me properly once. It was this past New Year's Eve, and we didn't start till after midnight. I was already exhausted from running in the cold that day and was half asleep. I understood the concept, but you have never seen anyone move so slow. It was like I had palsy, lol.

That sounds like Speed.

Probably. My area has a lot of Dutch families, and they all excel at this game. This is the name I was told when I learned the game. The little Dutch girls on the cards are kind of cute.

Ah i was wondering why you couldn't type.

 

[SnowyMacie]

That was the quickest game of Dominion I've ever played.

There's a game that I know called Speed, played between two people. You take a deck of cards, and place two cards face down. On each side, you make a stack of cards on each on end, and deal the rest to each player. You then flip up the two cards and can play your cards according to the cards in the middle. You can only play it if it's the same card, one above it, or one below it. For example, if it's a five, you can lay another five, a four, or a six. If neither player can play, you take one from each stack to put on so play can continue. First player to run out of cards wins.

That sounds more like Uno on crack without those pesky "draw five" or "reverse cards" than speed.

Yeah, it is different. You can play with up to four players in Dutch Blitz.It sounds like a similar premise to Speed, but not the same. In Dutch Blitz, the card you dispose is always one point higher than the card in the middle of the pile. Plus you have multiple piles going in the center. I am sure Messy can contribute more to this when she sees this post.

Oh okay. There really is no point system in Speed, it's just a matter of finishing quickly. You also can't really do points since Ace is both high and low so it could go King, Ace, 2, 3 and then back to 2, Ace, King, Queen.

Okay, Dutch Blitz sounds more complicated then. Trust me, you can get really burned in Blitz, lol. I don't recall what my score was by the end of that game, but I told my sister's friend never to bring this game again, haha.
