Chicagoland Card Players

Just trying to get some regular card playing scheduled. Whether you are a tournament card player, never played spades and need to learn the rules, or just want a brief refresher - join us for a meetup event!

The plan is to make the main focus Spades and try to get in some monthly games scheduled in Chicago. Check out the "about us" section for the house rules we play with. We're also adding some other card games now that we've got a good membership... look for Canasta games, Cribbage, Euchre, Poker, even some Bridge!

Please email us if you are willing to host an event (spades or otherwise) and we can set it up and help you out.

Please email Lisa or Marcia (the "real" organizer of the group) if you have any suggestions!
