I have played two new games here at THD that I have never played before. Rummikub and Mexican Train. I found them both enjoyable but not as challenging as Bridge- my favorite Game. You can play Rummikub on line as well.
Rummikub (/ˈrʌmikjuːb/, "rummy cube"[) is a tile-based game for 2 to 4 players, combining elements of the card game rummy and mahjong. There are 106 tiles in the game, including 104 numbered tiles (valued 1 to 13 in four different colors, two copies of each) and two jokers. Players have 14 or 16 tiles initially and take turns putting down tiles from their racks into sets (groups or runs) of at least three, drawing a tile if they cannot play. In the Sabra version (the most common and popular), the first player to use all their tiles scores a positive score based on the total of the other players' hands, while the losers get negative scores. Variations of the game contain four jokers. An important feature of the game is that players can move and reuse the tiles that have already been placed on the table. For complete details visit:

The other new game that I have never played before is Mexican Train. Here's a video of how to play this domino-style game.

Today, I attended my first Strength & Balance, Stretch Exercise. It was great and I intend to do this regularly. I also observed the group playing American Mahjong. I have no intention in playing it. I would like to organize a group playing real Asian Mahjong ( Hongkong, Philippines or Chinese variation) if there are residents here who have played Asian mahjong before. Again, I have enjoyed my week here at THD. See you in my next blog on Life Here at THD.
