What we’re about
We organize social events to play traditional card games in the Minneapolis / Saint Paul (MSP) metro area in Minnesota, USA.
We usually play 500, Bridge (Contract), Canasta (Hand & Foot + other variations), Cribbage, Euchre, Hearts, Oh Hell, Pinochle (single, double), Pits, Spades, and Whist (Bid, Widow). Don't worry if you're new to a game or need a refresher as all members are expected to help others learn and improve their skills.
We encourage any member to lead an event or series of events. We’re always open to including new games and locations if there's someone willing to host.
The TCCC group organizers pay for all Meetup fees and event supplies so your contributions are much appreciated. Contribute at http://paypal.me/HarpoVal or via cash to your event hosts. All club expenses are tracked at https://www.meetup.com/TC-Card-Club/money/ .

We will likely be in the main room where the beer is served but if the alcove space is available we may set up there since its a bit quieter.We welcome cribbage players of all ages, skill levels, and experience. If you don't play yet, or its been awhile, we are happy to teach or refresh your memory :)

- variations like speed cribbage (up to 6 people with 8 cards), kings cribbage (think scrabble + cribbage), or cross cribbage (building a 5x5 grid). Games can include 2-10 people :)People will start playing at 6:30pm and we will add you into the next game when you arrive.
