And gave one away. <br />Nora:<br />Yes, Tuesday night has many benefits! <br />T:<br />Anything worthy getting is worth the hard work - I love the game, so don't view it as anything but fun!<br />Nick:<br />Maybe she heard of 110 or 120 which is the 'double' version of 45?<br />GM:<br />Somehow I knew you'd heard of it! Yes, I do recall you writing of the friends. Now I know what they did!<br />VP:<br />I think that was probably 120 - the double version mentioned above where you bid for the cards based on your hand. I've played that too.<br />And I sure like your way of thinking on this. Perhaps the Beothuks played it then?<br />XO<br />WWWWisewebwomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15281689872840844191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14874528.post-60524923684985680382011-02-21T21:21:35.480-03:302011-02-21T21:21:35.480-03:30My parents used to play a game called "Auctio...My parents used to play a game called "Auction 45" which I never understood. My speed is a hyped up version of Solitaire here on the laptop.<br /><br />By the way, did you ever think that perhaps those Irish fishermen from centuries ago, perhaps found the game here in Newfoundland and brought it back to Eire? (Just like the silly people who think the potato was invented in Ireland - balderdash!)
