An Evening of Cards with the Makers of Playing Cards
Mon 29 Jul 2024 6:30 PM - 9:00 PM
Freemasons Arms 81-82 Long Acre, London, WC2E 9NG
Description
The Makers of Playing Cards have thrown down the gauntlet and challenged the Young Freemen to a night of fun card games, in the Company's traditional setting of Freemasons Arms. No prior knowledge of the game, Swedish Pursuit, is required - as their Clerk can testify!
Swedish Pursuit is based on Crazy Eights (also known as Crazy Aces, Nines, Crates, Switch), which is loosely related to UNO, but contains some devilish trick card variations, making it very easy to learn and tremendous fun to play.
Half way through proceedings we will stop for a bite to eat before resuming the games. Members are welcome to remain at the bar for drinks with the Makers of Playing Cards to learn more about their Company after the games conclude.
Guild members are welcome to bring friends, family, and other guests to this event.
