Progressive Rummy by Karen & Buzz

Ahoy Fellow Cruisers!

   

Some of you already know the Progressive Rummy Game that Roger and Diana have taught many of us. If not, stay tuned as we heard that they have plans to gift you all with a set of cards, the rules of the game and a score sheet for your enjoyment and endless hours of entertainment....depending on your competitiveness. Grab an experienced player and learn the ins and outs of this really fun card game.

Truth be told, the game was introduced to them by Linda Kadis Davis, who with husband Duane, had to cancel their cruise due to medical reason. But here’s to you Linda & Duane, for keeping us all entertained for many, many hours!!

So on this cruise, Diana and Roger would like to make a little contest out of the game. They have anointed Karen and Buzz as guardians of the galaxy...oops...different game...of the contest so we are providing you with a few rules and procedures here.

Two Winners!

First, only games played during our days at sea will count. Because we have two segments of days at sea - at the beginning and end of our cruise - there will be two prize winners - one for each set of days at sea on this cruise! That means you may enter your scores for games played at sea on the first leg of our journey from Los Angeles to Hilo, Hawaii. Then you may also enter your scores for games played on the second set of sea days of the cruise -  Maui, Hawaii to Ensenada, Mexico. Here’s how it will work:

We will be collecting score sheets that wish to be entered prior to arrival in Hilo, Hawaii, our first land stop and the person with the lowest score of all the entries on this trip segment will be the winner. 

Then we will collect the next set of score sheets wishing entry the day prior to leaving Ensenada, Mexico, our last stop. The lowest score for all the entries in this segment of the trip will be the winner. 

Both winners will be announced and awarded their prizes at dinner the night we depart for home from Ensenada. If one person has the lowest score for both segments, that person may win both prizes. So, play often and play well. You never know what will wind up being the lowest score with these many people playing.

Entry

To enter the contest, please use an official score sheet! Contact either the Vaughns or Davises if you need one.  You must play with a minimum of 3 players total or a maximum of 5 players total. You can enter scores sheets as many times as you wish and your official score sheet should include the names of all players in the game.

Turn in your score sheet to Karen or Buzz Vaughn, or leave it in the mail box by our door (D201) prior to each of these deadlines. Again, you may enter as many times as you wish and only Karen and Buzz will know the scores that are entered. 

Best of luck and enjoy your game time!!

Cheers!!

Karen and Buzz
